Vintage Advertising - Grape Nuts


From Woman's Home Companion, January 1922.  I can't quite tell if that signature on the bottom right of the painting is Norman Rockwell or not.

Aunt Martha's Workbasket - April, 1937


Not much in this month's issue - lots of transfers to write for, but the actual projects are two crochet (one dress, one vanity set) and a quilt pattern for Grandmother's Tulip that looks more like a trumpet vine, but maybe that's just me.
