Figure 1.-- The Andy Boy Broccoli we have found is undated, but looks to us like the late-1950s or even the early-60s. Hopefully we will eventually find the date. We are not sure in which magazine it appeared. One might think Life or Look, but I do not recall it. The children are alldressed up in their best party clothes. It is quite a clever image, the idea of wooing a young lady with a bouquet of broccoli.

Many of the advertisers we have found are from well known companies. Here is one we have never heard of before -- Andy Boy Broccoli. This is a family owned comppany in New York state which was founded jist before the Great Depression in 1927. They promototed fresh produce, still a novel marketing ploy at the time. The ad we have found is undated, but looks to us like the late-1950s or even the early-60s. Hopefully we will eventually find the date. We are not sure in which magazine it appeared.
