Some More Vintage Halloween Candy Ads

Today has been a busy day, so in lieu of writing a fuller post, I would leave you with a few vintage Halloween themed ads for candy. As it is, posts on vintage Halloween ads have become a bit of a custom here at A Shroud of Thoughts, as I seem to do one most years. Vintage ads for candy are particularly fitting for Halloween. The first reference to trick-or-treating is from 1927 in Canada. The custom would spread for Canada into the United States, so that by the post-war  years it was well-established in the United States. As would be expected, candy manufacturers would capitalize on the custom of trick-or-treating with Halloween-themed ads.

Below are a few Halloween candy ads.

An ad for Neco Wafers from 1951.
