Was there a federal tax credit for companies running ads like these during WW2? (Not a bad thing.)

We just can't have ads as fun to look at as this one anymore.

Thank-you!

Miz K... If you want to get a feel for MacGowan's music...look
up "Fairytale of New York",
from 1987....a Duet with Kirsty MacColl, one of the best of the modern Christmas tunes going. She was a favorite Singer-songwriter of mine, as was her Dad, but til I heard "Fairytale" I didnt know who he was....instant fan. The Pogues have been quite a
force in Folk for years.

Was there a federal tax credit for companies running ads like these during WW2? (Not a bad thing.)

No, Miz K....tax revenues derived from liquor sales are almost pure profit to the Government, and anything the wartime Government could pick up dollars for without equivalent expenditure went straight to prosecuting the War. It was simply good business practice.

Gas pump tops from the 40s and early 50s....I remember Redball, but the others are a blank....All Gasoline brands used these globes. The Bar I hang in here has a complete Texaco pump inside....Ill catch a pic of that next time

The Go to for Rubber Heels. Resoling and Heeling is a art form. Anyone who wears real boots and well-made shoes should know....a good cobbler is worth his weight in gold....

The "never darken my door again!" cartoon was a staple in the post-WWII years. Even this late NatLamp was still milking the unforgiving Daddy and wayward Daughter dynamic. Note the Snow collecting on the Nimbi

Gee, I think someone was asleep at the helm.

I wish I could see one of these.

If you get to DC, the Bethesda Location on Wisconsin Avenue NW, just across the City Line is still intact, though it isnt operating. There is a remnant Building selling Donuts on Washington Bvd in Laurel, Md....I havent been in either location in way years, but they were fixtures when I worked in the area.
