I always assumed that's so you could break in two and share with a friend. I don't know if they made them for that or not.

Most likely that's why... But I didn't want to share with my brother despite having to most of the time. 😂

A nice '40's ad for Whitman's chocolates.

Wow! Easter was very late that year. That's a neat ad. Funny to see them addressing them as 'man'.... They wouldn't address the lady as 'woman', would they?

Some of the group where I got this ad felt it was amateurish, and not attractive, but I think the colors and forms are beautiful. Your opinion?

It's nice, but I can see why people don't think it's pretty.

The travel ads are some of the most appealing that were made.
