Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad that is for their Birds Eye Quick Frozen Green Peas. This ad has a very good looking picture of a well-set dinner table with a large platter of Green Peas with two slabs of butter on them, slowly melting away. The headline says that “Sweeter Peas never came out of a Pod in June!”. It then says “…Farm-fresh, no-work Birds Eye Peas for holiday eating! Yes, in December you can enjoy the glorious goodness of peas gathered on a June morning and served at noon…Birds Eye Green Peas!. Birds Eye Peas are grown from especially selected seeds, in soil where peas grow sweetest. They’re harvested when the pods are satiny green, and the tender skin of every pea is freshly rounded out with delicious nourishment. Then Birds Eye shells and washes the young beauties, and immediately captures ALL their farm-fresh lusciousness by quick freezing. Try Birds Eye Peas. They come ready to cook – work-free, no trouble for busy you! Economical, too. A Bargain Buy right now. And remember – one box of Birds Eye equals 2 pounds of peas in the pod. Just compare prices”. The last thing in this ad is a “New! Recipe For Savory Peas”.
