Happiest New Year

December 31, 1945, Menasha Record
Interesting, yet puzzling ad for New Years by Menasha Furniture.  The abandoned tank with the rays of a new dawn rising behind it obviously signify the end of the war, yet the text doesn't even mention it.  It's almost as if the words were an afterthought, using text that could have been used in any old year.  Still, I'm sure the sentiment was there as it was full speed ahead after the war. We all know how well that went, with the brighter days and economy to come.  The sky was the limit for most Americans as the country prospered.

  1. Kind of prophetic with how our war with the Deep State is soon coming to a close.
