The jackpot of classic ads.


I was looking at a Life magazine from 1946 because there's an article about a steel worker's strike in Homestead. However, I of course got sidetracked by the crazy ads and other features. There's one about a church social and how Heinz ketchup "is man-bait". ("say the teenage girls who usually get the job of setting the table and acting as waitresses at the church suppers. They hope that all the good eats will put the boys in a fine humour, make them willing to help with the washing-up after supper"). My excitement about this lead me to adclassix.com, where you can browse by category. The link is to the grocery section, which is most pertinent for this blog.
