Old Magazine Ad

My mom was given several old knitting magazines from the 1930's and some of the ads in these things are hilarious.  Like this one, from 1938:


Gin--cures what ails ya!

Speaking of that, I had a gin and cranberry juice cocktail last night, with New Amsterdam Gin.  Very tasty.

If your mom has any interest in a WWI, or WWII knitting magazines, I'd be happy to drop a copies in the mail.

Is it still called "medicinal?"

I'll ask her and see (assuming I remember).

It is still called medicinal. At least it was last night, and will be again tonight. Do you think it would have occured to ANYONE to explain what a "cheek weld" was, and why it was important? Noooooo.
