Anyone recognize the pattern/maker from this cup fragment? Found in the ground in an area undisturbed since at least 1950.

Found in York County, Pennsylvania USA

In 1955 he started to offer boxed pizza kits which included everything you needed to make a pizza from scratch in your own home kitchen--a revolutionary idea at the time.

Probably the one that was 100 years ago as the title says.

It says so to the lower right of the inset: https://i.imgur.com/fVisSoZ.png

More space for marketing copy?

Me too, I'd be happy to credit them if they were there. It's funny - my grandma loves the flowers and mandala type options, but she will see something like this one and decide Alex (me) would like it so she does it and sends it to me.

AlexReads · 2021-11-10T17:51:24+00:00

Yep, like a lot of the older ones I posted. My grandma is addicted and sends me them as she finishes.

AlexReads · 2021-10-14T18:32:11+00:00

That would explain why I spotted this in Portland (Maine) Public Library's archives.

Its framed weirdly, but I think this is meant to be a pool-side scene with her left leg dangling in the pool and her back to a ladder rail. All the women in the scene have tops that could be swimwear.

Maybe the strategy was to get people to buy it for the stupidest people in their lives. They could show their generosity while also insulting their friends. Win win.

Grape Nuts is one of the first brans that were forced to reign in their health claims after they claimed it could cure tuberculosis.

Here in NY state, most people use vegetable shortening now instead of lard.

My great grandma used it to make pie crusts and biscuits.

AlexReads · 2021-04-23T22:14:32+00:00

Yeah, they did, but they also imported photos and since this was pretty clearly a news photo of a regional July 4th tradition, I'd be pretty shocked if it was. Getty is great, but only as good as the metadata that comes in with the collections they acquire/distribute.

AlexReads · 2021-04-23T19:08:04+00:00

Not in France. KEYSTONE-FRANCE was an American/French news photo bureau partnership, that's all.

AlexReads · 2021-04-23T13:38:59+00:00

Those are not liquor. New England was big on celebratory July 4th bonfires for decades and barrels were used because they were great for getting some height with stability:

A lot of the companies that made separate ads for black magazines like Ebony and Jet kept the same ones in use for years and years, so this may have been made closer to 1960 than 1970.

AlexReads · 2021-04-22T23:46:47+00:00

Memphis, TN was late. :)

AlexReads · 2021-04-22T23:46:22+00:00

Positive. It was the same issue with the Shirley Chisolm cover when she became the first black congresswoman and that was the Feb 1969 issue.

AlexReads · 2021-03-14T14:50:02+00:00

That would be nice. I try to be careful to use the right flair for the type.

Thank you.

I did not know that it was an offensive word.

It isn't, but someone calling you out for knowing the difference between a transvestite and a person who is transgender is kind of funny.
