1958 Ad: Hi Ho Crackers

This ad depicts life in 1958.
Yes, ladies cleaned house & cooked in dresses. Most ladies magazines encouraged them to "look good for husband when he got home from work".

When I was young, in the early '60s, girls still wore dresses to school.  I protested in first grade and my mom made some slacks for me to wear.  I was a tomboy.

The struggle was real with the cord telephone. Waiting your turn to use the phone. Party lines in rural areas.  Worrying that the boy you liked was going to try to call and get a busy signal because a sibling was on the phone.  Good times.
