Morton Salt's advertising of the 1920s and 1930s often paired its product with everyday kitchen staples, and this image puts the company's familiar salt next to a halved grapefruit and a glass of its juice. Grapefruit was still a fairly new breakfast fruit to many American households at the time, and salt was promoted as the easy way to bring out its flavor. The ad reflects a broader shift in the period, when packaged goods makers sought to tie their brands to fresh produce and modern, health-minded eating. Look closely at the layout and copy to see how the company framed a simple seasoning as a key part of the breakfast table.
