Advertisement, Mazola "The Salad Oil with Character" with Minute Tapioca Recipes, Original Magazine Ad, USA, 1936

Clean, simple, and entirely of its moment.

A pretty oil cruet, a tin can in the background, a hint of salad at the edge — Mazola's 1936 ad is a study in restrained elegance, the tagline reading "The Salad Oil with Character." The reverse is equally appealing: a full-page color Minute Tapioca ad featuring their "Star Desserts of 1936," recipes included. Two full-page color ads, two windows into the American kitchen of ninety years ago.

A lovely piece for a vintage kitchen, a food history collector, or anyone who finds beauty in the everyday objects of the past. A charming housewarming or hostess gift.
