Curtiss brand candies produced consistently great ads.




A cheese festival, indeed, Yankee style!


Apologies, as ever, for the combination of small-mouthed scanner and plain laziness with these scans.  In this case, the viewer loses the fact that this 1952 ad was produced by the American Council on Cheese.
Lovely painting from a '50 Green Giant ad.


My but those pancakes are appealing.


I find the art especially high-quality in this rather fascinating 1951 ad.






Nice Vehicles of the Future! here in this '51 ad.


During WWII there were many ads in magazines exhorting housewives to do their part by reducing the food intake of their families, thus leaving more to be shipped by the troops; that and stretching every dollar in order to buy war bonds were common themes in ads: "war work" was a phrase one saw in reference to it, as below.  Imagine today's Americans being asked to do without a single thing for our ongoing war efforts. Ha bleedin' ha, it's a laugh enit.  Say, these pictures're pretty nice though!
