A friend of mine has been graciously letting me borrow her 1940s McCalls women's magazines and boy have they been fun! Here are a couple images from April 1942:

Hmm! Do you think some of these could still work today? |
The whole family is doing "their bit" with a lot of help from Lipton Tea, apparently. |
Ooooh! Anyone for a slice of Plum Nut Cake? |
And I couldn't leave out the latest fashions. These dresses are to die for! |
