This fell out of a magazine found in the wall of a south Minneapolis home: a perfectly preserved grocery store circular from 1953. Don’t go to those other stores with their false buys; this store has the REAL BUYS, which result in SPECIALS. I love this image, because it makes perfect sense to modern eyes and would utterly confound someone from, say, France in the 14th century. Whereas we can generally understand their iconography. It makes you wonder what would strike us – you know, the vastly sophisticated, visually literate 21 century people - as incomprehensible. A foot with lips excreting a Euro over the words WOOD GRAB, CAT! Or something like that.
Next: prices.
