A golf scene sets this Milky Way advertisement apart from the candy bar's usual packaging and print work, placing the treat in an open-air leisure setting rather than on a shop counter. Mars introduced the Milky Way bar in 1923, and advertisers of the period often tied sweets to active, middle-class pastimes like golf, which was growing fast in the United States between the wars. Outdoor advertising such as this, meant to be seen from streets, trolley stops and roadside spots, aimed to make a quick snack feel like part of a relaxed day outside.
