REFRIGERATOR ADS
May 22, 2008
I've been collecting kitchen ads for about twenty years, on and off. Mainly I have refrigerators, sinks and stoves. I've just started to scan them. Of course, I love the illustrations and the cultural history, but what I think I love most about kitchen ads is seeing all the food in the refrigerators. You'll see, as we get further into the collection, just how abundant the food is, and how it's never wrapped.

When you get such a fridge as this, you must invited the girls over for a look see.
Just how big is the family, one wonders.
