DYMO | 1971

Who remembers? In the 1970s and 80s, before home computers and printers, these little machines that embossed words onto adhesive tape were everywhere, used to label school things, personal belongings or simply to put your name on almost anything.
In 1971 DYMO ran this ad in the Brazilian Uncle Scrooge comic (Tio Patinhas).
Did you have one too?
