March 7, 1958, Appleton Post-Crescent
Seeing as how yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, my eye was, naturally, drawn to this ad. Perhaps this offer was at odds with the whole idea and the "Lenten Special" was really a tongue-in-cheek dig at the custom, who knows. Still, I found it a refreshing respite from the usual 1950s take on starchy, serious public mores for its time.
