Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ wartime ad that is intended to be a morale booster. The ad has a drawing of a summertime cookout where the father is cooking away on big thick steaks while a lady is watching the boy who is now a soldier while she carries a platter full of glasses of beer. The ad headline puts one of the memories into words, “Boy did those grilled steaks used to taste swell” and the ad text talks about more of the “things back home” that our soldiers are fighting for. The ad also contains a reminder to keep writing letters to the soldiers and sailors. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
