1943 Vintage American Locomotive Advertisement | World War II "It's Dinnertime in America" Ad | UNFRAMED Vintage Ad Page | Ty Mahon

IT'S DINNERTIME IN AMERICA is a stunning World War II ad by American Locomotive capturing the imminent danger of the times. The breathtaking painting by Ty Mahon (renown political cartoonist for the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin) depicts an American future if we lost the war... every American begging for scraps while the Germans feast inside. The ad copy is no less stark... 

IT'S DINNERTIME... or will be soon. What you going to have? Steak's a little bit high. Maybe some lamb. Or chicken. Enjoy it. Enjoy every bit of it while you can. Enjoy it even if is is rationed, even if you do pay more for it than you've paid in years. At least you can still get it..."

American Locomotive was a military hardware manufacturing during the war specializing in tanks, gun carriages, army and navy ordnance, and of course, trains.

This is an actual magazine page with advertisements on both sides.

On the other side of the page is part of a Del Monte canned food ad.

A unique, framable gift for anyone who loves history or students of the World War II Homefront.
