Vintage Ads for Rednesday

I wanted to do something for Rednesday, old ad posts are always fun, not much text, just pictures, these are all from my old magazines.

Oct. 1952 - I wanted to include this on a Halloween post but it didn't happen, so here it is. This is such a great cover.

Every Woman's 1952

Every Woman's 1952 - makes me think of Mad Men!

There were surely no shortage of cigarette ads - Every Woman's, 1954

I remember Mom having this box of spaghetti and the little can of sauce in the box - Woman's Day, 1966

Family Circle, 1968

Family Circle, 1968

Family Circle, 1972

I've never had Manwich in my life!!  McCall's, 1979

Canadian Living, 1979

Family Circle, 1981

Susan Lucci in all her 80's glory - Good Housekeeping, 1985

Summer Food from Forty Years Ago

How about a nice gelatin based salad?  Maybe a cool green salad made with Wesson oil.  Top your meal off with Strawberry Shortcake, made with Dream Whip.

Kraft Dips on crackers - remember when they came in metal cans and cream cheese came in a glass??  Of course, Ritz was the cracker to use - maybe some Parkay margarine as well.

Summer-proof Saltines - sounds good to me!!  Salad dressing just looks so much better in the old glass bottles.  No BBQ would be complete with Kraft BBQ sauce - the only kind that was ever used at home.

You could order the Bummin Bag for $1.50 plus a plastic top from Accent.  Weight Watchers Snacks came in apple, peach, and strawberry, and cinnamon, guess it must have been apple cinnamon!   We might have wanted to use some Chun King for the BBQ instead of the regular sauce.

A turkey sitting on a dock - now, that is something different!   Maybe some Beef Kabobs were prepared with St. Lawrence oil.  And finish a hot summer day off with a Frosty Float made with Spanada - a beverage made of grape wine and natural pure flavors.

Summer begins today so I thought it was a good day to get out the old magazines and hunt for some ads for Rednesday - check out all the goodies here, time again to link up with Vintage Thingie Thursday.  We still use most of these products today, only the packaging and the ads have changed!
