Yes, people did wear suits to sell toys. I distinctly remember being in a store in Manhattan in the 50s and the man was selling I'm not sure what but I recall it being an invisible bunny. He handed me the coat and told me to hold it tight in my hand. I was 5. I did what I was told. And yes, he was in a suit. It was all very Mad Men back then.
I dream to live in the magic world of 50's advertisings...
