Orange and Lime crush

Like Oranges? Drink Orange Crush

Hello,

I have come across two Norman Rockwell advertisements for orange crush and lime crush. One is a young girl sipping and holding an orange crush bottle. The bottom says -like oranges? drink Orange Crush.

The other is an older woman in a hat with a pink bow wrapped around it advertising Lime Crush.

Have you heard of these? I cannot find any pictures of them anywhere. I'll try to submit a picture sometime.

Thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,

I have not seen this one before. I guess we are gradually uncovering the twelve paintings Norman Rockwell painted to fulfill his contract with Crush. I have found one other ad that I believe he painted for that series that was also published for a water pump company, Two Straws Are Better Than One.

What are the dimensions of the prints? I see that this one is framed, but can you determine what kind of paper it is printed on? Does it look like a tear sheet advertisement from a magazine?

You can comment here on this page or privately if you prefer.

Thank you for your contribution.
