Lately I’ve been browsing through a lot of vintage restaurant ads and menus, for both fun and research. Here’s one from 1968, for the China Clipper Cafe in Dallas, Texas. “The Chow is the Mein thing!” Adorable.
This photo comes courtesy of Waffle Whiffer, whose Flickr collection is loaded with other great old food advertisements.
If anyone stumbles upon other interesting ads or menus, let me know!
