American culture change in the 1920s essay help!

We have to write an advertisement essay in my APUSH class explaining:
"How and why does American culture and society change during the 1920s?"

Sounds easy, BUT we have to compare and contrast 2 advertisements (one from the 1920s and one from the years before then) for our evidence in the essay to answer the question.

Do you guys have any advertisements that would be great for this essay, or things to remember about the decade while writing it?

Thanks so much!
