Does this 1960's magazine ad seem familiar?

Hey, maddicts...
Take a look at this scan of a genuine magazine ad, a 2-page spread, from the 1960's.

Does it seem at all familar to you? (Click link below)

I looked at the ad yesterday with no problem, but you're right; today you can't get to it.

Anyway, it seems vaguely familiar; I was a teenager in the 60s (there was the date 1969 on something in the ad). It looks like it may have been a Christmas ad for a particular store, or maybe an illustration from a magagzine article. It was very clever, however.

What do you think it is, Ras?
