Salad Fun

I want to share with you all some great illustrations from this Kroger Salads booklet from 1957:















Man, that's some serious mascara going on there. I like the way the little girl is depicted. Very cute design. And gotta love that lettering. Very suave and sophisticated.

In a comment from one of these Flickr images, theappraiserlady quotes architect Charles Moore: "A good case can be made on evidence collected from all over that the future came and went in about 1957."

  4. These women sure are lovely. Lookit those fresh-scrubed faces, sparkling eyes, and perfectly placed hair! But watchout - I bet they'd turn on you in an instant if you arrived with a slightly cold casserole dish or a single wrinkle in your wardrobe. Your family's name would be tied to a stake and burnt like a witch!
