Adspace for sponsors of 1923 U.C. Berkeley 'Blue & Gold' Yearbook
Oooh, vintage typeface and graphics!
Antiquated styles, Sunday dinner out for a dollar, "jaunty, gay-looking caps", and corny college humor!
Does it get any better than that??
Yes, I could easily linger over the student and faculty data and photos in the first 600 or so pages of this tattered yearbook, but I think it's towards the back of the book where the action is.
That's where the advertisements from the local businesses are, the ones that might tell a slightly different story of life in the twenties.
That I've spent lots of time in Berkeley certainly sweetens it for me, but I'm hoping this will give you a kick as well.
Dig in...

Hamburger Joe looks kind of creepy...as if he'd turn his clientele into his sandwiches!
I love those! As a Bay Area native who also called Sonoma County home, it is really funny seeing a Rio Nido ad in the Yosemite ad.
Can't get to Yosemite? Come up to the Russian River!
