VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement presents a whimsical take on athleticism and productivity, featuring a man in classic athletic attire leading a team of miniature horses around an Olympic track. The illustration humorously suggests that despite being barred from competing under official rules, the protagonist has found an inventive way to participate by creating his own "Desoutter private Marathon." The ad cleverly uses this narrative to promote Desoutter Power Tools as essential for increasing production, drawing a parallel between the endurance required in sports and industrial work. It reflects mid-20th-century advertising styles with its combination of satire and product promotion.
