Campbell's and Heinz soups were sold in individual servings and were heated in those electric mugs and served at the counter. No need for a soup of the day. There was always a variety available. That photo brought back fond memories of vising his store and having lunch at the counter with him. A big treat for a 5-year old!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05662952309538261597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-84914735056899514092019-04-16T22:44:14.264-04:002019-04-16T22:44:14.264-04:00Know your mom from GV, so not surprised to hear he...Know your mom from GV, so not surprised to hear her say "Let's Go!".

I was born in the mid-70's, so when I was growing up in the 80-90's, design from the late 50-70's was tacky and dated and eeeewww. But lately I've really come to appreciate that era and MidCentury design and have thrifted a few great pieces. The TV was FUN and I'm tickled that you shared it with us.

I kidded DH about needing a new TV and then showed him this one - no, please, no, was his reply, lol. I'm a '59 baby too and love all the different old styles. I tie dye bedsheets, clothing, muslin for quilting and my underwear. My car has daisy decals all over it and gets so many compliments. DH says at least no one will want to steal it - it would be too easy to spot.
