Fear Saves Life!

As you go off to Halloween parties this weekend, remember this handy tip:

Fear Saves Life! Propaganda advertisement from 1936

FEAR… saves life! Bearded guy in a loincloth, take note.

Vintage newspaper ad published in the local Springville Herald in 1936. I spotted it while doing painstaking page-by-page newspaper research as mentioned here. Sadly, the Tripp Drug Company is no longer in business here in Springville, Utah. Fear cannot apparently save everything.

I think that the headline would make a nice embroidered sample, don’t you? Let me know if you make one!

About Dame Toadstool

From her humble Midwestern beginnings, Dame Toadstool has developed into a lady of fine taste (as long as you are flexible with the definition of "fine"). She enjoys sarcasm, knitting, subversive cross-stitching, and will never stop using the Oxford comma.
