New Mexico Brant
Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Ok, so I will admit, I suffer from "Huffman fever." Anyway, the end is near for the building renovation (in reality: RECONSTRUCTION), soon to be art gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. My "GF" Jennifer was working on a press release today and found an advertisement from Oct 4, 1940 from the Ortiz Food Store, the original owner of the building. What is fantastic about the ad (besides the amazing prices for Kraft's Loaf Cheese and Brown Beauty Beans) is the Libby's promotion for a bicycle. The ad says "See this bicycle on display- Save Libby's Labels- You may win it!" Please see the ad below; I am seeing a Huffman Big Tank ladies bike. Admittedly my judgment is biased so please tell me if I am wrong. Was this Libby's promotion a national campaign? I also maybe slightly delusional from huffing paint fumes the past few days... Many thanks! Brant
