Good Housekeeping 1941

[pen_grunt]

In case our LJ and Facebook worlds don't intertwine for whatever reason, I posted an album of old ad scans from a 1941 issue of Good Housekeeping. They're interesting from a gender/sociological/americana standpoint, and worth a look if that's your thing. There are about 75 ads with various levels of unintentional hilarity.

[ETA: Also, scanning them--while fun--was a hell of a lot of work. So the more people that see them, really, the better. :) ]

I am, and I *love* it. I really considered posting these up there one by one, but then I considered how lazy I am and reconsidered...
