1936 Thanksgiving Camel Ad: Smoke After Each... →
This advertisement for Camel cigarettes appeared in the November 23, 1936 edition of LIFE magazine. It earnestly demands that you smoke a Camel after each course of Thanksgiving dinner — “for digestion’s sake.”

If you want to celebrate My birth, just GET ALONG AND LOVE...

Pandora Launches Children's Music →
I have been a big fan of Pandora when it launched a few years ago, and now listen to it in the car too, by way of my iPhone Pandora app. Now there’s an alternative to watching movies during long trips: listening to children’s music on Pandora.
