Ag Ads

At the Railroad Museum, in one of the boxcars, they have an exhibit of vintage ads for different agricultural enterprises. My apologies from the outset, for the battle I lost with the glare from the lights - the images are not flush against the wall. I did manage to resit the urge to break through the glass and improve the arrangement of the exhibit.

 I don't know what it is about vintage signs, the color scheme, the sometimes naive and entertaining marketing elements, but I find them fascinating.

 "Extra Fancy" California Pears

"Fancy" Mountain Grown Plums

 This one baffles me - "A-Okay" California Fruits...with a rocket?...in space, with the moon?

Fido Brand Citrus - doesn't the dog look slightly terrified?

It looks like the wings of this glider plane are on fire.

Did you know I love lemons? I'd like to try a meteor lemon...I had no idea lemons came from space.

Perhaps it is the winning combination of charm and hilarity that pulls me in.
