Patriotic Home and Appliance Care

More WW2 ads in honor of Memorial Day Weekend.


Taking care of your home and your appliances was the patiotic duty of early 1940's Americans.  Families learned to live without or make due with what they had so that resources could be used for the War Effort to bring our men home.


Protect your home's exterior!  Be sure to use lead based paint!

"Do's and don't's." Hmmm. I see that adding an apostrophe before the plural "s" is not the 21st-century phenomenon I thought it was.
