"One of those 'certain days'"
Apologies in advance to those with a "Y" chromosome who might not find this post quaint but, rather . . . awkward!
I rarely read women's magazines. But I'm thrilled to have two called The American Home. One is dated August 1942 which sold for 10¢; the other from June 1943 had gone up 50% to 15 ¢. The format is larger than most current women's magazines 12 3/4" (32+cm) X 9 3/4" (~25cm). Of course most ads and articles connect to World War 2.
I will probably post more from these charming magazines but I'm starting with these three ads regarding "trying days of the month". Be sure to click to see them in a readable size.
