I really, really like vintage advertising. Like, a lot. I have several framed food ads in my kitchen. These donut ads are just too cute, and just in time for breakfast, enjoy!!

1949 Television Taboos
This is an amazing article from 1949 discussing the taboos of Television, a time when Television was still capitalized and married couples couldn't be seen sleeping in the same bed.
I can't help but think if some of these were still considered "taboo" we'd be a much better society!

Jenny on the Job
The star of this series is the blond-haired, blue-eyed Jenny, serving as the model production worker. She sets an example to other women, probably new to industrial jobs, of how to work safely and efficiently, doing her best to help the war effort.
The government encouraged entry of women into the workforce, replacing the men now fighting overseas. “Jenny on the Job” showcased eight posters issued in 1943 by the United States Public Health Services. The artist was Kula Robbins.
I can't find any information on the artist, but I really love these posters!
