1936

I was combing through old news this morning for the weekly feature in our newspaper when I saw these ads dated May 22, 1936. They are so amusing.

Can you imagine wearing this undergarment? Had to have been pure torture.
I remember wearing garter belts before panty girdles came along (yes, I'm that old). Those garters would be embedded in your skin after sitting on them through a class.

And how about these grocery prices?
I'll take half a dozen heads of lettuce to go with the pork chops.  b

  1. Don't get me started on the price of groceries! However, I will order me a dozen of these Brassieriers! No need for expansion in the bust section, extra Lastex in the back section please!
