I picked this up at a garage sale a while back. It is copyrighted 1940. I'm wondering if it is from a magazine or somekind of repro. It is framed very well, the backing paper is sealed to the frame, that's why I haven't taken it apart for further investigation.
1940 magazine ad, judging by the shape and size, it's prob from Nat Geo.
Thanks cckid. It is a bit small for a Sat. Eve Post or Life, it measures 9 1/2" X 12"
Cool ad Tommy! While these are not worth a whole lot of money, they do look great on the wall and in yours, mine and cck's collections!
I really enjoy them because they do represent a time in our nation's history that is important to me.
Great ad! Here is the January 22, 1940 full-page ad in "Life."

Thank You solver, now I know where that little devil might be from!!
Thanks Perry!! I like them too, but they are fairly elusive around here. I have poured through 100's of old mags looking for them, LOL
My pleasure, tommy. Here is another full-page ad in "Boy's Life" March 1940:

The slogan "take off refreshed" was copyrighted by Coca-Cola on January 10, 1940, copyright A107691.
