Oct 1957: Eggs ad from British Egg Marketing Board

«Take as many eggs as you like
-and beat Mr. Rising Price»
A print advertisement encourages consumers to buy eggs to offset rising food costs. It suggests eating eggs is a good way to reduce your food bills, and explains eggs can be purchased in large, standard, medium and small sizes. Eggs can also be rated as top quality and farm-fresh. Take as many eggs as you like -and beat Mr. Rising Price Hens may be very stupid. Men may be very clever. But a hen makes a wonderful job of an egg. An egg is the best of foods. Eggs are meat. They contain the same proteins as meat. (Also Vitamins A, D and B. And iron. And other minerals.) When you add eggs to puddings the pudding course has the same body-build- ing goodness as the meat course. You improve the whole meal. Eggs have no waste. They are little parcels packed with things the body needs, and the body uses them all up. The best way to beat rising prices is to cut out any luxuries that have not got high food value. Eggs have very high food value. You can use them to give the family a hundred and one little treats without spending very much money. The farmers have a lion stamped on your egg, so you know it has been examined for top quality and farm-freshness before it went out to the shops. It is also stamped 'large', 'standard', 'medium' or 'small' according to size. This way you know you are getting full value for money. There is a number on your egg too. If you have any complaint you can quote the number to your shop. SEE THAT EACH HAS A LION ON IT Essued by the farmers who are running the British Egg Marketing Board

Oct 1882: Liquid Coffee ad from Walker's

«Walker's Liquid Coffee is the Best and Cheapest in the World»
An advertisement from the 1800s featuring a bottled, instant, liquid coffee with chicory. The text describes the coffee as making many cups from a single bottle and mentions testimonials from medical journals and analysts about its flavor and convenience. It can be used with milk or water to make a refreshing beverage. Walker's Liquid Coffee is the Best and Cheapest in the World Exact Size of a Is. Bottle. FAIR TRIAL WILL CONVINCE YOU THAT WALKER'S LIQUID COFFEE is the Best and Cheapest in the World. THE LANCET, the leading journal of its class in the world, says, in its issue of July 19th, 1879, of this Coffee, that “it possesses in a marked degree the odour of Coffee, and furnishes a refreshing beverage when prepared in the usual manner with boiling water, sugar, and milk.” WALKER'S LIQUID COFFEE takes less time and less trouble to make than tea. THE MEDICAL TIMES and GAZETTE says:-"It makes, with boiling water and milk and sugar according to taste, a much better and more agreeable beverage than one generally meets with under the name of Coffee in England. It may be safely recom-mended and deserves to become popular, for with it good Coffee can be made quickly, surely, and cheaply." WALKER'S LIQUID COFFEE. A Shilling Bottle makes over thirty large cups of Coffee. DR. RIVERS WILL-SON, Ph. D., F.C.S., Edin., Analyst, 3, Adelaide Terrace, London Bridge, reports :-"I have carefully analysed a sample of Walker's Liquid Coffee, and find that it is a genuine and well-made Extract of pure Coffee, in which the aroma is satisfactorily retained. On dilution with boiling water it furnishes a beverage which is practicably undistinguishable in flavour from that made with freshly-roasted Coffee, and I have no hesitation in strongly recommending it, not only for its purity, but also for its convenience and cheapness." A. RIVERS WILLSON, Ph. D. WALKER'S LIQUID COFFEE is recommenced by all who use it. ITS ADVANTAGES are that one cup or more to any number can be made...

A vintage advertisement featuring a young child on the phone, with text highlighting the soap's role in preparing her 'to be a beautiful lady'. The text emphasizes the soap's purity and the family's long-standing trust in the brand. Preparing to be a Beautiful Lady "Just say 'Hello' to Daddy and then come along,” says Mummy. "Hello, Daddy!" says Joan. “I'm just going to have my barf. Bring me home some sweets, won't you? I tore my frock this afternoon. Yes, and-." And so on, until she is dragged forcibly to the almost overflowing bath. But once in the water, the telephone is forgotten. There are all sorts of games to play and there is the nightly ritual of peering through the soap so that Mummy and the bathroom turn golden. Joan is still fascinated by that fragrant, transparently golden soap, although she has never known any other. Mummy, too, has used Pears Soap all her life and her own mirror shows her how it has kept her skin petal smooth and flawless. That is why she trusts so surely to Pears, the pure soap, and clear water for preparing Joan to be a beautiful lady. SIX PENCE A CAKE (U.K. only)

An advertisement promoting an article written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on Spiritualism in the 'Sunday Pictorial'. The article is about the possibility of communication with the dead and contains some of Sir Arthur's experiences, and details experiments with 'materialised ectoplasmic forms'. DO THE DEAD STILL LIVE? By SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE THIS remarkable article by one of our leading men of letters reopens the whole question of the possibility of communication with the dead. To those who believe that Spiritualism has been disproved and hopelessly discredited, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's amazing array of evidence on the subject must give pause. He tells not only of his own astounding experiences, but gives some details of the experiments with the "materialised ectoplasmic form" conducted by Professors Crookes, Richet, Geley and Count Grammont. These ectoplasmic figures are visible. They walk. They talk. They answer to instructions. What is the explanation of it all? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's remarkable exposition of the case for Spiritualism is certain to cause a world-wide sensation. THIS REMARKABLE ARTICLE APPEARS ONLY IN NEXT SUNDAY'S ORDER YOUR COPY TO-DAY
