The Pre-Norman Rockwell Era

Here's an unintentionally hilarious advertisement for a company called Libby - Owens - Ford Plate Glass, from the April, 1949 issue of Better Homes and Gardens. Unbeknownst to the wild-eyed candy enthusiast future diabetics with their noses pinned to the glass, creepy old Uncle Silas is rubbing one out right behind them. The first rule of "Perv Club" is "Distract people with a top hat and watch fob so they can't see you frantically pawing your groin bulge."
