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…

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..
