A promotion put out by the National Dairy Council, Chicago, IL. These drawings are what happens when Forties WPA Cubism meets a postwar daydream of Mom, Flag, and Apple Pie (a la mode). Watch them hang out together for hours, reveling in the wonder of icy cold vanilla-flavored FREEDOM! Also, they talk frequently about a variety of dessert called "New York Ice Cream." I once spent several hours in New York, but I have no idea what that is. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. (Enlarged to show detail. Originally posted to flickr on April 3rd, 2011.)

The nice Danish Modern-inspired design will keep you from noticing that letting your coffee get colder than usual doesn't actually improve it! From the May issue of Good Housekeeping.

Looks like coffee was still too common in those days to merit its own tribute panel, but the designs are great, nonetheless. From House Beautiful magazine.
