Eat at Dan's

I've been doing some research about popular food from the 1920s and 30s and came across this newspaper ad for a new restaurant in Glendale, California, 23 January 1928.

Advertising was so much simpler back in the '20s - just the facts, ma'am! I think I prefer it to today's avant-garde right-brain 'what the hell does a gorilla playing the drums have to do with a bar of chocolate' marketing style.

"Special Steak Dinner 50c" - that's all I need to know.
