Description
Full color 10″ x 13 1/2″ ad for Campbell’s Chicken Gumbo Soup. The ad starts with a casual drawing of a plantation on the side of New Orleans with the people walking about in their fancy clothes and the headline states that there is “New Richness For The Soup Of Old New Orleans”. It then shows, on a table laid out with fine glassware and ornate silverware, a bowl that has a serving of Campbell’s Chicken Gumbo Soup. It then says that there is “More vegetables…and more chicken than a Creole cook ever dreamed of! Even the most lavish Southern hospitality never rose to a gumbo more delicious than this! It’s Campbell’s new, improved Chicken Gumbo – brimming with more than ever before of the richness of fine, plump chickens, carefully simmered. And thicker than ever with luscious, garden-grown vegetables – red-ripe tomatoes, celery and young green okra. The seasoning is perfection! Just the right blending of savory herbs to give a subtle, distinctive flavor that people like, at first taste”.
