Campbell's was in Camden, New Jersey, near me. Like you, my mom often fixed grilled cheese and Campbell's Tomato Soup, and she made it with milk, so it was Tomato Bisque, and she used Velveeta, because it was economical. She had seven children. I also love old advertising! What a fun post!<br />I am followeing you now!<br />Happy Spring!

These ads are wonderful and they say so much about the time. I love reading the copy and finding out what language sold products back when the ads were more copy than pictures. Now the copy is mostly legal disclaimers.<br /><br />Oh, and I need to try tomato soup with grilled cheese. In 46 years, I have NEVER eaten them together in a meal. Makes me feel un-American!Nanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376476093305279684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807358689849758829.post-84353823154345716442012-03-08T17:01:57.940-05:002012-03-08T17:01:57.940-05:00I'm amazed.

Even at a hint of a cold, I would cook up a batch of chicken soup - and of course it had to have an onion in the pot, or it wouldn't be effective.

Maybe thats why I am so rarely sick ... I really dislike the taste, they always leave a film of something unidentifable in my mouth.<br /><br />Sorry I have been away for a few days - it was my birthday earlier in the week and I have been busy having little adventures, which now they are over with I will blog about this week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807358689849758829.post-17788519488463008542012-03-04T08:30:46.693-05:002012-03-04T08:30:46.693-05:00Janet, I love old advertising!

I would rather look at the ads in the old magazines than the stories, but there's some pretty amazing stories in there too.<br /><br />I'm like you - I love older things and antiques. I tell my husband it's a good thing I love them, because I'm married to one, lol.
