JOHN HORTING’S SAFE OLD WHISKEY BRAND- CREATIVITY AT IT’S FINEST!

WhiskeyBy Randy HuetschMay 5, 2020

This very early reverse on glass sign from the pre-prohibition era is one I really like as it utilizes a play on word by incorporating a free standing safe image into the Horting’s Old Safe Whiskey brand sign!   I love the old style safe, a style which has not been made for years, but which…

EVAPORATED MILK ONCE WAS KING!

Antique Advertising CollectiblesBy Randy HuetschMarch 8, 2020

How often do you buy evaporated milk in today’s fresh from the market economy?  Probably not often at all, unless you want some unusual recipe which calls for the product.  But 100 years ago evaporated milk was all the rage, as it could be stored differently in a world where cooling refrigerators were a dream…
