Nestle, 1943

Good Housekeeping, November 1943

"His one weakness-

... Toll House Cookies from home. Now that nestle's Semi-Sweet Chocolate is harder to get - because so much of it is going to the fighting forces in emergency and combat rations - put it to the best possible use. Make up a batch of those golden-brown, crunchy Toll House Cookies and send it to that soldier boy of yours. He always did go for those crisp, brown cookies containing whole pieces of netle's Semi-Sweet Chocolate. You'll find the easy-to-make recipe on every package.

When your dealer is temporarily out of Nestle's Chocolate products, please be patient. Remember the demands of our armed forces are heavy, but they just come first."

"The most important part-time job in America.

The New Minutemen of the Army Guard share a unique American heritage with William H. Carney.

A Sergeant in the 54th Massachusetts Colored Infantry Regiment during the Civil War, Carney received the Medal of Honor for heroic devotion to duty during fierce fighting at Fort Wagner, S. C. on July 18, 1863.

Outstanding black Americans still protect our country and our communities in today's Army Guard, of course. One weekend a month thousands of these modern day citizen-soldiers come together all across the nation to train and sharpen their skills. And you can join them.

More than 400 career specialties are open to you. You'll earn good pay for learning one of them, too. About $45 for just one weekend a month to start.

And with every promotion there's a pay raise. Another thing, we're close to home.

Be one of The New Minutemen. Contact your local Army Guard! Recruiter, complete and mail the attached coupon, or call toll free 800-638-7600 (except in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands). In Maryland call 301-728-3388.

Army National Guard
The Guard belongs."

He'd love that kiss! And that new hair-do. And some of those wonderful Marlboro Cigarettes they always smoke. Firmly packed, and blended of superbly pleasurable tobaccos which cheaper cigarettes cannot possibly afford, Marlboros are a rare buy in luxury... for mere pennies more! The cigarette of successful men... and of lovely women.

For him or her: Ivory tips. Plain ends.

Specially for her: Beauty tips (red)"
