These vintage George Washington sales ads almost always depict him in the hoariest manner – chopping down a cherry tree either as a kid or adult (which lends itself to a price-chopping theme) or as refusing to tell a lie (which fits in nicely with the notion of how unbelievable a store's prices are).
What's interesting are the very common items chosen as Jupiter sales items: baked ham, toilet paper, napkins, Dutch Maid Sugar Wafers, etc.
Dutch Maid? Hey, I believe that was the same company that made the well-remembered Yes Yes Cookies (subject of one of this blog's most popular and most visited posts).
Anyway, if I remember correctly, Jupiter Discount was one of the stops on our weekly Saturday morning pilgrimage to Downtown Lorain. It was right next to Kline's, where we also shopped (and where Mom would say hi to some of Grandma Brady's old co-workers, since Grandma worked there for almost her entire working career).
Here are a couple of photos (courtesy of Lorain Historical Society) showing the Jupiter store. The photos might bring back a few memories of Downtown Lorain's waning heyday in the 1960s.
