A 1951 ad for Baker Furniture shows off the unmistakeable style of Otto Soglow. It was published in The New Yorker where Soglow's cartoons were popular and, as his work was widely known, it may have appeared in print elsewhere as well. The ad is in the form of a single-panel cartoon but it has a decorative frame around it with some additional copy, so it shouldn't be mistaken for one of the magazine's signature drawings. At Thanksgiving, we are reminded to be "especially" thankful for the some of the material things in life.

Just look at all those pages in the magazine, and all those ads.
