This blog will be filled with data analysis samples created by students in my COMM 274 class at TLU. You will see a variety of types of rhetorical analysis methods on display here.

The thesis I would put for your ad would be, women can do things. Women can do much more than help her husband to be a good wife. Women are as capable of doing things that men can do. Why can’t he be supportive of her, and she goes on the plan. Women got their rights in 1920, and this ad was made in 1951.
I think the observations you have made are pretty self explanatory for the reader. The very obvious focal point is the woman dressed in luxurious clothing but, the time being in the 50's, the woman was not the provider in the household. From this we can conclude that the wife is waving goodbye to the husband from the airport itself. Moving down, we see "how a wife who stays behind can help her husband get ahead". This ads to the argument that she is staying home while he is leaving. This is a very blunt way of saying the woman is inferior to her husband she must make sacrifices in order for her husband to succeed. Because it is so bold, I think the thesis for this entire message is to encourage obedience from stay at home wives while their husbands go be successful.
This ad shows an example to show that women can help in ways that can be impacted later on. While the women's husband is gone off for business she can help him get ahead while she is at the house. She can do what she can for him while he is gone.
