The Good Old Days: A Classic Washington Post Advertisement from 1927

Take a step back in time with this classic Washington Post advertisement from 1927. It's a reminder of the good old days when some had Frigidaire! #WashingtonPost #History

They were joined by several hundred thousand anti-war protestors who descended upon the nation's capitol to dissent against what they believed was an immoral war.
