This vintage advertisement showcases the Malibu Hydro Spa, a compact, inflatable hot tub marketed as an affordable alternative to expensive home spas. Dominating the top half of the page is a large headline—“INTRODUCING The Malibu HYDRO Spa”—with the word “Spa” styled in oversized, flowing red script. To the right, a starburst graphic announces the low price of only $199, emphasizing fun, relaxation, and convenience.

The main image features two smiling adults enjoying the circular brown spa, surrounded by lush tropical plants that create a backyard oasis atmosphere. Jets churn water around them, reinforcing the ad’s promise of “Hydro Pump jet action” for soothing muscles and relieving tension. A smaller inset photo highlights the internal jet mechanism.

The lower portion contains detailed product information, including construction materials, portability, and power features. It explains that the spa runs on a rechargeable 12-volt battery (sold separately), inflates in minutes, and seats up to six. The ad wraps up with a mail-order form, offering an optional accessory package and encouraging customers to “ORDER NOW.”

A Chicago city street in 1958. This photo was most likely taken by someone my grandfather knew working at the Naval Air Station in Iceland. I really like the vintage signs. #photography #filmphotography #slide #streetphotography #history #usa #america #chicago #vintage
