Here’s yet another 1930s newspaper clipping I scanned, an ad from the Sanitary Meat company.
Boy, I sure hope so. But right there in the title they’ve assuaged my fears:
Butcher: Wanna buy some meat?
Shopper: Yeah, but is it sanitary?
Butcher: [points to ‘Sanitary Meat Co.’ sign]
Shopper: Oh, OK then.
There’s a little marketing tip for you from the 1930s, free of charge. Use at your own risk.
Thanks; the Sanitary Meat Company which ran this ad was my Great Gandfather’s business. Been having some difficulty finding articles etc on the place. This was great – where did you find it?
That’s crazy, Michael. It came from 1930s newspapers that were being used as insulation in a friend’s house.
