I know they're old but looking back at those ads, I don't think they would make typographers want to work there.
I'm a typographer amongst other things, and setting copy in dingbats is not a typographic challenge, just time consuming to decode.
They wouldn't get good typographers relpying, just people with too much time on their hands, ie unemployed people, ie people who can't get work as typographers.David carson set a whole magazine article in dingbats in the 90s, so it's not new either.
They should have made the ads just really sloppy on the type front, they would get typographers going
