You would sometimes pick up a newspaper specifically for the ads. You might be looking for a job or a car and that was a good starting place.

Back before VCRs were a thing, movies like ‘Deep Throat’ were only available in theaters. The local theaters ran ads for XXX movies on the same pages as the general stuff.
