Oh, you guys, I just hate it when my old magazines get too brittle and crumbly to keep. Such is the case with my February 1939 The Progressive Farmer. So I post this ad from it before it hits the trashcan, and part of it will live forever.

Ahhh, and I’ve been looking for toasted tobacco. 😀

Awesome color photo from 1939 – I didn’t realize they could do color like that back then.

Well, there were only a few color pics in the otherwise newspapery brown and black magazine. When I think of 1939, I think of “The Wizard of Oz,” which was half in color. And then I click my heels together…

A moment of silence for Kerby’s magazine. 1939 was a great year for movies, not just (one of my personal faves)The Wizard of Oz. I wonder what toasted was supposed to do to tobacco to make it “easier on your throat”?

Who knows? And I was able to scan a couple more pics before I tossed the poor little thing.

I bet being ‘in tobacco’ treated that family well for generations, Kerbey. Now, not so much.
