Vintage Food Advertisements: Part Five

[whirlcool]

I remember those Mars Marsettes candies. We sometimes had those at the house in a dish when company came when I was a little kid.

And I see the traditional pumpkin pie recipe hasn't changed in 63 years!

And the Swift ham ad is a great example of how social class is used to sell a product. If you lived in one of those homes shown in the ad in 1939, you were doing pretty darned good in life. So the message the advert is sending is "If this is good enough for people who have money, you might want to try it too!".

I have seen that used all the time.

Whitman's sampler - still around since 1842? wow.

Although not a canned food guy, I used to buy and trust in S&W, esp. when living in California.

Never heard of Fleer's Bubble Gum..has an old name sound - or maybe another ring?

These ads remind me of my mom's winter dessert, called Pie-O-My pudding cake. It was a mix, and was chocolate-fudgie like, baked in a pyrex or similar glass dish. Anyone recall? We have a recipe' that is close to it.

Good fun, as usual, these ads.

I had heard if jelly roll but never knew what it was. Now I know that it's what we call Swiss roll in UK. I also remember my mother making devils food cake in the '60s.
