What does the age of the style have to do with anything? You can ask them to write like Dickens or the King James bible or in Caesar's Latin, too, and these are even older.

In fairness, some of those older styles could alienate a reader, whereas mid-20th century style is practically like our own. To emphasize, this is narrowly about applying the style from an era, not the English from an era.
