I counted only 4 cars in this charming village scene, all parked and in the background while foregrounding people on foot.

«Life CAN be Wonderful!»
An illustration showcasing a winter scene with a cross-section of a house to demonstrate various uses of products that come in steel-and-tin cans. The advert shows the utility and convenience of canned products in daily life. Life CAN be Wonderful! Not only can life be wonderful-life is more wonderful-thanks to the familiar steel-and-tin can that brings you so many of the good things you use in your daily work, pleasures and diet... And every time you buy something in a can, you know the maker has done his best to put his product in your hands the way he wants you to have it-prime, fresh, protected in transit and use... How many modern products would you guess come in cans? 100? 500? More than 2,500! The amusing sketch above shows fifteen such products in use. See how many you can find then check your "score" with the list at the right. PRODUCTS YOU BUY IN CANS ARE SAFE against air, light and moisture SAFE against dirt, germs and spoilage SAFE against tampering - quality is fully protected BECAUSE No other container protects like the can!
