Thanksgiving is only a few days away – so hopefully you have your menu finalized, and everything you need to prepare it in the fridge already.
Back in late November 1954, you had a lot of choices when it came to where you bought the items for your holiday feast. Here's a veritable corny-copia of grocery store ads that all ran in the Lorain Journal on November 22, 1954, all designed to put you in the Thanksgiving mood with great graphics.

And as a bonus, here's an IGA Thanksgiving ad from ten years later – November 1964. What's odd is that the price per pound of turkey (31 cents) is less than it was in the 1954 ads. And it has a nice holiday sentiment at the top of the ad.
