Here are some Halloween clippings from the October 31, 1925, edition of the Winston-Salem (N.C.) Journal. This is the "Women's Page," filled with recipes, party ideas, etc. A headline states of Halloween: "The Mad Hour When Witches Ride and Black Cats Stalk on Fence Tops May Be Celebrated With an Eerie Party." It includes a recipe for "drop doughnuts," which is included in an image below. And there's an advertisement for Merita bread, which claims that it's great for Hallowe'en sandwiches.
I had a subscription to newspapers.com for about a year. The best part was looking through all the old ads, particularly around the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI love old Halloween advertising, especially the graphics. It is fun how doughnuts and nuts figured big in the holiday.
