1940s Business Advertisements Winston-Salem, NC

Since this is regionally local for me, I am fortunate enough to run across local history.

These advertisements are from a 1941 high school year book in Winston-Salem, NC.

Enjoy the stroll down memory lane...

If you live in the Winston-Salem, NC or surrounding area, I'm sure you remember some of these places.

Some are still around!

1954 Navy Vs. William & Mary ~ American Football

I captured a few images from the game program that I thought I would share.

Hoping someone that might be related to one of these fine chaps might enjoy the pictures.

There are many more in the program, so if you think a relative of yours might have been involved and would like me to look for a picture, just let me know.

I put the names in the body of my blog...hoping that someone that might be doing a search of relative names will happen upon this post when the search engines crawl.

Mashup of Ads from the 1950s & 1960s.

Just Because.

As I was scanning selections from the 1950s & 1960s, these are some that I wanted to share for one reason or another.

Just an illustration of what was important, what companies spent advertising money on.

I love the mix of black & white and color to draw attention to the logo.

 

Did you know that View-Master made cameras???  I didn't.

 

Dan River Textiles.....close to where I live. So sad that so many of the textile jobs left our country. Hopefully, we can get some of them back!

Love the 1970s fashions & hair. Nothing to compare.

 

I have collected vintage costume jewelry for a long time....and this is still a favorite among collectors. Sarah Coventry.

 

What ever happened to colored Toilet Paper?   I loved it!  You just can't find anything but white now. And this one is wonderful for the upcoming Easter holiday.

 

I can live without the effort that went into hairstyles.

A Harley Scooter.  Kind of opposite of the way they are envisioned today.

 And I included this one just because I liked the color and "Carolina". 

 

Soda has always been advertised heavily.

And in a day when men and women go to the local store in pajama pants, it is refreshing to see an age when people actually cared what they looked like when they walked out their front door.
