ephemera of the 40's & 50's



Cool site, Ephemera Now. Ephemera from the 40's and 50's, mostly advertising.

Is it just me or does she seem a little "twisted"?











Also from this site, I think I've found the perfect main course for the Dr-Pepper-Aspic "appetizer"!:


"Ham Shortcakes with Pea Sauce" Yummy!











What a nightmare. It's no wonder the kids started turning to drugs in the sixties.

oh and here's another.... "Peas in Potato Boats"...














Dear GOD what was up with the peas?

It probably has to do with the fact that peas are one of the few vegetables that actually don't turn to mush if you freeze and then thaw/cook them ... of course, canned peas are another story altogether. Ick.

cyibe!
