This is a 1957 ad campaign that ran in magazines from Chase & Sanborn for their instant coffee. These featured illustrations by cartoonists Whitney Darrow Jr. I know these old ads can be wordy with tiny print so I typed out the ad copy beneath each ad. My favorite part of the ad is in the third one where the copy writer thought Pennsylvania was too long of a word and shortened it to Penna. If you have a favorite let me know in the comments!
