September 20, 1954, Appleton Post-Crescent
Typical 1950's slice of life cartoon appropriated to service a florist's advertising budget. Looking like so many Saturday Evening Post (remember that?) cartoons, the reader is drawn into the cartoon before realizing the payoff at the end is an advertisement. A great marketing ploy for its time. I was only too familiar with Lindsdau's as it was the preeminent florist in Menasha for many decades.
