I’ll just bet you do, dearie. Just try not to be quite so – obvious – when the “rich old dear” rolls up for a visit, OK?
It’s so heartwarming to see such wholesome family values in this 1947 ad from Chatelaine magazine. There’s cartoon Ted in the background, strategically hanging up Uncle Harry’s portrait. That ought to flatter the old full-of-himself dear.
And she thinks he never misses a trick. Look at these two! It’s enough to make a person leave his fortune to his cat!
She thinks that dragging out the Colonial Sheets will really convince him to change his will. What a crafty wench! And “if you can’t buy all the Colonial ned linen you want right away don’t be discouraged” – maybe old Uncle Harry will leave you a bundle. “Just keep on asking for it.”
She’s asking for it all right! This ought to be some visit.
Well!!! Have you ever??? What a scheming hussy!
Mr. Blatant Mercenary had better watch his back, that’s all I’ve got to say. Once Uncle Harry takes his dirt nap, I don’t think this woman will be satisfied with sharing the spoils.
Ted’s wife might have all the right sheets, but she hasn’t got her own name
