Description
Three color 5 1/2″ x 13 3/4″ ad that is for Spam From Hormel Foods. The ad starts off with the mother asking the two boys who have been playing in her house, “What will you G-Men have for lunch?”. The boys, both standing there in disguise say that “SPAMwiches sure suit this bunch!”. Next there is a tray filled with meat, olives, cheese and a few hard boiled eggs. The card says “SPAM – Slice cold SPAM and butter your bread. You may add sliced hard egg, Russian dressing…cream cheese and horseradish – or invent your own combination”. Then, a lady says “Baked SPAM is easy to make. I just pop a whole SPAM into my oven, baste it three times with the sauce described on the label…and in 25 minutes my SPAM dinner’s on the table”. Next, there stands a man who says “Try SPAM and salad, too. Cold or hot, this pure pork product hits the spot. SPAM, the meat of many uses, comes only in the 12 oz. can that needs no refrigeration”.
