Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad that sells us on the Campbell’s Clam Chowder Soup. There is a drawing of the Campbell Kid holding a bucket and wearing a raincoat and hollering “Ahoy, Folks!” at the top of the page. Next to her the ad says “Any time! Any place! Clam Chowder you’ll all go for!” as it stands above a drawing of a big bowl of this hot product on the table. The ad says that this is “Hearty and smacking good is this famous “soup of the sea”, made of choice clams and vegetables!”. It then says that “No matter where you live…Chicago, Illinois or Tip Top, Tennessee…you can enjoy this savory sea-side soup as often as you like, simply by dropping in at your grocers! For Campbell’s brings to all America the zesty seafood dish that is a real favorite with folks along both seaboards… If you’ve never tasted Campbell’s Clam Chowder, you have a treat in store for you. Selected bay clams, tomatoes, potatoes and spices are blended according to a wonderful old recipe”. There is a drawing beneath the bowl of soup that shows an old boating scene with several boats tied up and waiting to go out. The caption here says that “In bays and inlets along the seacoast, choice slams are gathered and shipped to Campbell’s Kitchens to make America’s favorite clam chowder”.
