Jet magazine and the accompanying “Jet Beauty”

Mimeograph machines:

At one time, peanut butter was deemed not to have enough flavor and so Koogle, a flavored peanut spread, was introduced. Similar to Nutella, Koogle lasted into the late 1990s when dietary changes and poor sales rendered it extinct.

A magazine started in 1951 that highlighted the African American community in the United States in an era where Black issues and people were not reported on in the mainstream. This was a weekly magazine until 2009 and it was in print until 2014.

Cigarette ads on the rear cover of EVERY magazine:

Hmmm…..
