i wouldnt call this a "treasure" per se, just a great example of a funny old ad. (i'm looking through archive.org's argosy magazine collection this evening and mostly looking at the ads)
campbells soup: for when you want a "dainty little luncheon" but you have ONLY ONE MAID. or even no help at all!
the phrase "these excellent soups" also really tickles me, as does the larger context of the assertion that these excellent soups will simplify my household problems. just an all-around slam dunk of an ad for soup.
heavy metal scientist. sometimes literally. fountain pen enjoyer. queer and more than old enough to remember when you couldn't use the internet and your home phone at the same time
