So this week’s RT post will show you some of the pages of the October 1948 – “Calling All Girls”. I had to laugh at the name. That might have worked in 1948 but it would have a very different connotation today, don’t you think?
Certainly most will recognize this young beauty. Elizabeth Taylor would have been a tender young 16 years old. About 4 years after “National Velvet” and a year before she played Amy March in “Little Women”. One of the last true movie stars still around. An American icon.
Speaking of teenagers….. Can you imagine presenting these shoes to your teenager today? My how things change!
On the other hand, I find this a little racy for the day. Then again, I doubt anyone but a teenage girl would have picked up a magazine called “Calling All Girls”.
Flirty girl.
Well all girls know that it’s not OK to be natural. Time to paint your face. 
A nice old ad for Walt Disney jewelry featuring Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Pluto. You can tell that Minnie & Mickie are older because of of the longer upturned noses. The Coro ad is cool because the logo gives it a timeline. I like this Walt Disney quote:Update to old RT post: I just wanted to give an update to something that I posted a few weeks ago. You might remember my “sweetheart chair”? The original post is here.
A little vintage chair that I love but had no idea as to age. Lo and behold……I found my sweetheart chair. In the same magazine.
So now I know! 1948’ish! And that’s it for today. Go take a peek at more retro and vintage at Tracey's The Crazy Suburban Mom and Suzanne's Vintage Thingies Thursday. It's fun!
Now that's cool to find that style of chair in a magazine from 1948! Fun pics!

Oh my gosh, that is so cool that you found a picture of your sweetheart chair in that magazine! And the magazine itself is pretty cool too. Love the ads. Another thing to add to my list of things to look for: Calling All Girls magazines!
ReplyDeleteHi Maureen! You asked about those checked jars. They're just Smuckers Toppings jars. My husband needs to eat more Caramel Topping, so that I can have more with the blue lids!

I love old magazine ads, and that chair is so sweet....amazing how wonderful it looks after all this time.
ReplyDeleteHappy Vintage Thingies Thursday...and have a great weekend....Jury duty 1 day...yea!
I love looking at old ads. At first I thought those shoes looked kind of childish, but I think they are not too different from some of the shoes being worn today (though I have seen any with straps around the ankle).
ReplyDeleteYou have some very neat old magazines. Seeing some of those pictures brought back a lot of vintage memories.
ReplyDeleteAwesome ads! Love the graphics. aren't youglad we don't have to wear those underwear? The teen crowd? Yuck. so funny.
