June 12, 1946, Appleton Post-Crescent
Father's Day is right around the corner so I found these neat ads from 1946. I presume the list of songs in the music store ad is some sort of Top 10 (actually 11) which is kind of neat in itself. The furniture items in the Menasha Furniture ad, to me, spell out the unspoken message that Dad is a grounded, sincere, tough, and genuine kind of individual...a man's man. And despite the almost comical illustration of the stereotypical Dad, why wouldn't we want that for him, less than a year after he came home from the war?
