Robertson's strawberry jam takes center stage in this advertisement, a reminder that branded packaged foods were a big part of the grocery trade by the early 20th century. The title, "A Treat for Tea," points to the jar's place on the dinner table, where preserves were a common accompaniment to bread and biscuits at the afternoon meal. Ads of this kind often blended bright color, cheerful family scenes and simple slogans to make a familiar staple feel like a small indulgence. Look closely at how the jar and its label are set against the tea setting, since that pairing reveals a lot about how manufacturers pitched convenience and everyday pleasure to shoppers.
