The pictures below show larger views around this Old Drink Orange Crush Soda Advertising Grocery Store Paper Bag. This paper bag with handles is not dated but it is believed to be from the 1940s or 1950s. It was made of heavy enough paper to hold glass soda bottles. It is marked on the two larger sides as follows: ORANGE CRUSH! ® CARBONATED BEVERAGE DRINK ORANGE CRUSH! ® On the side panels are Al Capp's Li'l Abner comic strip characters including: Li'l Abner, Daisy Mae, Mammy Yokum, Pappy Yokum, Hairless Joe, Lonesome Polecat. The captions on the two side read as follows: AH PRONOUNCES TH' OFFISHUL DRINK O' DOGPATCH, ORANGE CRUSH! ® AL CAPP ©UFS YUM, YUM! HAIRLESS JOE LE'S DRINKUM!! ORANGE CRUSH! ® AL CAPP © UFS The opened bag, with handles measures about 6-3/4'' x 1-3/4'' x 4-1/4''. It appears to be in excellent unused condition, except there is a 1-1/2'' edge hole on the edge that nearest to Hairless Joe. Also, there is a piece of scotch tape on the bottom (as found). The glue probably dried out that held it together. The tape can be removed if desired. |
