Picked these up at my favorite antique store - a buck a throw. This one caught my eye right away, because of that artist. I've no idea who he or she was, or whether it was a person or a style copied freely by others. The blunt crude forms, the stylized world, the humans with enormous feet and red spots on their cheeks to indicate Ruddy Health or perhaps plague - it was modern but archaic. The medieval period of Commercial Theology, perhaps. All to sell brooms!

And cheap roasters. Interesting that the electric blanket is not called an electric blanket - perhaps market testing said people didn't like slumbering under charged wires. "Automatic Blanket," that's better. The Automatic Blanket must have been a difficult product to invent and market - years of testing to make sure it didn't spark or short or electrocute someone who got sweaty. Don't see them much anymore.

Now we just add another layer.
