Antique Graphics Wednesday - 5 Grocery Store Advertisements

I've shared with you in the past that my childhood
dream was to own a general store, complete with
with shelves of glass jars filled with candies, bolts of fabric,
and bins filled with peanuts and potatoes.
I wanted a squeaky screen door and floorboards that creaked when you walked on them.
There had to be a porch with benches out front,
so neighbors could sit and chat about the price of gas and complain about the weather.

These 5 advertisements  all came from some early
1900's yearbooks from Morningside College in Iowa.

 This ad is very simple and to the point.  They didn't even include
an address, so I guess everyone in town knew where to find them.

 This one wasn't a grocery store.  It was a florist,
but I liked the typography on it.

I think these images, or the names from them would

be great for handmade signs.  Enjoy!

Blessings,

Angie
