#tbt January 1st, 1951 Advertising in Buffalo, NY

This post may contain affiliate links to companies I know and trust. If you purchase something through one of those links I will receive a few pennies to help fund my yarn, fabric and vintage cookbook habit

Once again a huge thanks to Fulton History.

Ads are from the January 1, 1951 Courier Express newspaper.

The Berger’s Ad? Yup those are 1951 prices. I love the Berger’s logo.

I’m drooling. Now the only department type store that sells fabric is Walmart. Yeah, not much of a selection there…

Remember when department stores sold sewing machines? Me neither. J.N. Adams had an entire White Sewing machine department.

I want that coat.

I think Portable should be in quotes. I can barely carry my 35 year old sewing machine, I don’t event try with the 50 year old “portable”. Machines in 1951 were made of metal. Heavy metal.

That woman is looking pretty sexy for 1951..
