This advertisement from the December, 1949 issue of Ladies’ Home Journal provides the reader with a number of delicious-sounding recipes that can all be made from just one pound of Diamond Walnuts! Maybe I’m just extra hungry right now, but these recipes actually all look really good to me. And none of them seem very [...]
“Three shapely MGM starlets offer a preview of this summer’s swim suits at Malibu Beach. They model some that are scanty, others that are skirted. Whichever you prefer, you’ll find a wide variety.”
This weekend was Labor Day weekend in the United States. For most of us, it’s considered to be the last real weekend of [...]
“Crisp upturns or smooth sweeps tell the story of the newer hair-do’s. Unbridled manes are being brushed - and scissored - into new outlines this season.

1950 offered plenty of trendy styles for both short and long hair. The December 1949 issue of Ladies Home Journal magazine showed off a variety of these looks.
