Circa 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers Bond Bread Baseball Poster
Big Bond Bread poster. During the 1930s-1950s Bond Bread was a big national brand, selling 1.5 million loaves per day at its height. The company took its name from pledging, in a sense "bonding" itself, to make bread with the best ingredients. The bread business in this time was highly competitive and advertising played a major role. Bond Bread even produced their own baseball cards, some featuring Jackie Robinson. In the poster, a pretty young woman has just really walloped the baseball, as her eyes attest to its flight. The slogan on the poster reads, "Gives you more go." The implication is that the bread will give you that home run clout. Poster has holes from where it was screwed into a wall. There are small tears in the upper and lower left corners and a few minor stains. This is a nice vintage poster of a time before low-carb diets, when the "Mad Men" of Madison Avenue sold bread as a boost to one's batting power. Framed at 25x46". Girl swinging is wearing a Brooklyn Dodgers cap or close to it and has that 1947 "look".
