Time Travel 1915

Why I love cruising old National Geographic ads.

You can almost see this kid running into the house for lunch, with pink cheeks and frozen fingers, and Mama serving up some delicious Campbell's Vegetable Soup. No wonder it's still on the shelves.

Or how about washing up in a big bowl of warm water and a bar of Ivory Soap? Probably would have been safer than trying to wash my feet in the bathroom sink and falling to the floor. Still have the scar on my chin.

And I did once have an old traditional switchboard job (ala Ernestine) - love this 1915 AT&T image of a woman at the nexus of communication, weaving the world together.
