New Year’s Eve 1963 Ads

Here are a few vintage New Year’s Eve ads from the pages of the Lorain Journal to put you in the mood for the big celebration on Monday night.

Both are from the December 28, 1963 edition of the paper.

First up is an ad for the party planned for Triangle Bar, located at the triangular shaped property at the intersection of Lake Avenue and Elyria Avenue. Music for dancing was provided by the Jive Four.

I’ve mentioned Triangle Bar on this blog before. It was one of the many businesses that briefly succeeded Urban Miller’s Supper Club at that same location.

Triangle Bar made its only appearance in the city directory in the 1963 edition.

Meanwhile, over on the West Side of Lorain, Sherwood Inn (a favorite topic on this blog over the years) was planning its own New Year’s Eve celebration, with music provided by the Harry Herman Trio.
By George, the showgirl with the party hat in the ad looks like she would have been more at home jumping out of a cake at Frank Sinatra’s birthday party.
I do like the idea of a post-party breakfast at 1 a.m., though, with a light, healthy menu of ham, bacon, steak ’n eggs and home fries.
