Campbell's Asparagus Soup was one of the company's early condensed soups, and this 1918 magazine advertisement shows how the brand used color and a simple red-and-white label to make a canned product look fresh and appealing. Campbell's had built its reputation on condensed soups sold in cans, which were cheaper to ship and store than fresh food and could be prepared quickly at home. Wartime advertising of the period often stressed thrift and convenience, and this ad fits that moment, presenting the soup as a economical way to put a nourishing meal on the table.
