Here's a good one that was definitely pre 1978 (the year the federal government enacted the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, PL 95-109).
Can you tell what makes it illegal?
Here's another oldie from 1938... It wasn't a collection tactic, but rather an ad by Seagram whiskey to show responsible drinking. So basically, pay your bills first, then drink!
Thanks to Matt McGrath of Canada for giving his students this print many years ago.

Wonderful post. I love how you show the history of the collection industry. It is fascinating to be transported back to another time. Keep up the great posts.
