Hauserman Office Furnishings Ad, c1950

|

I cannot wrap my mind around "Movable Interiors." That's way too hoity-toity for a humble drone like myself. :D
I lost the reference info, but it's very likely from Time magazine.
Pilsbury Pancake Mix Ad, 1948

Those rich green backgrounds suggest dinner to me and not breakfast. Which is fine. I'd happily sit down to a dinner like this, so long as my dietician never found out. ;)

"Woman's Day", Henry Rox, 1965

I suppose that more varied edible elements went into building this laborer because she wasn't an entertainer like the others in the other two prints. She had more complex issues to deal with. :D
"Banana Chorale", Henry Rox, 1965

Too early for them to perform "Slip Slidin' Away."
But there was always, "Two Ladies In De Shade Of De Banana Tree" or possibly "Day-O." :D
"Jumbo", Henry Rox, 1965

Part of a trio I found for a few dollars, at an estate sale awhile back. Maybe it's a large series and more will turn up later.

A great view, but no postmark remaining on the back. Sent to a "Miss Eade" in Eastbourne.
"Dear A., received your letter... sorry we cannot manage it anyhow this week hoping you are well. With love, your loving brother Will."

"...the scarlet cherries that enfold the coffee bean..." Favorite coffee of romance writers around the world. :D

I'm sure this one's been uploaded by thousands of other people, but oh well. (I'm not Pinterest. :P )

"I'm All Alone" Sheet Music, 1922

Before finding this, the only "I'm All Alone" I knew of was from *Spamalot* . :D
There's something Mackintosh about the graphics.
I'm not sure which side of the pond the creators are from, but you can find the song on both YouTube and Internet Archive, performed by a few crooners, barbershop quartets, and a group called Falcone's Metronome Orchestra.

The same ad agency handled the account for Chic, six clicks back. They just really, really cared about hair.

I hope he didn't lean against the painting while it was still wet!! :D

Could've made your own wine in the time it takes to read all that! :P

Kodak Brownie Camera Ad, c1950

Dad is very excited to get cake. But not TOO excited. Mom wisely doled out only one martini per course.
Zee Paper Towel Ad,1957
| |
|
|
Listing your staffer's flaws in the ad copy seems pretty rude to me. Evaluations and wage disclosures should not be public.
From the April issue of Western Family magazine.
Sunset, May 1955

"Along the coast of Mendocino County, calm estuaries alternate with roaring surf. Here tourists fish for rockfish, a salmon boat chugs up the Noyo River (see page 56). Photograph by Aplin-Dudley Studios."

One more very rare pre-1960s appearance of purple in mass media. :D

The ad copy promises you the sun, moon, and stars. Yet, like Betty there, I can only manage boredom.

It's kind of hard to see the pretty sparkles in the tablecloth, but that could be my fault. My Photoshop skills aren't all they could be. But at least I don't charge. :D
