This ad ran from the late 1910s into the early 1930s! Maybe the Depression had something to do with it being halted? lol

That ad for Cherry Blossom shoe polish is beyond tenuous!

I may have to try out some of the food ideas on my kids. I think some vegetable jellys with olives poking out like eyeballs, washed down with the milk and Seven-Up combo....

The question is: will this sort of diet turn them into Chubbies???

Only the single most important possession a married woman can have! It's so she can keep her impending marriage a success by making his meat "the way HE likes it," because heaven knows this is why divorce courts are clogged up ;)
