Re: Vintage Supermarket Photos
Oh my goodness! How cute! I wonder what this is about. The couple behind them look like a wedding couple, too.

Re: Vintage Supermarket Photos
Yes, I didn't even notice that. Maybe they were winners of a supermarket sweep contest for newlyweds or something.
I'm trying to figure out an approximate date on this one, at least a decade. What would you say?

Re: Vintage Supermarket Photos
I think late 20s-early 30s. This is based on the fact that Darigold was founded in 1918, and the ad with the girl on it in the top right corner is very much of the era.

Re: Vintage Supermarket Photos
Yes, that was my thinking. Most of the clothing is pretty much non-datable. But I was looking at the grocer's glasses style, the women's shoe styles, and the light fixtures. (Also the young man's cap.) The Hill's Brothers was no help, as they apparently used that same logo from early in the 20th century on up into the 50's (at least).
I couldn't figure out the girl in the bathing suit ad. Is that like a cutout with her legs extending over the shelf? The side of the ad must out of view.

Apparently so. I started wondering and looked around and found this.
