The Rockettes and the Christmas Spirit: A 1959 Ad Review

The December 1959 Ladies Home Journal ad features the Rockettes in Santa suits promoting the Remington Princess razor, highlighting their iconic connection to Christmas and New York.

This ad from the December 1959 edition of Ladies Home Journal is a kick. It features the famous Radio City Music Hall Rockettes in Santa suits ready to perform. The caption reads:

Which one hasn’t met the princess?

The princess in this case is the Remington Princess electric razor.

The iconic Rockettes are tied to New York, the Mid-century, and Christmas. The famous girls and their matching legs began in the 1920s, but flourished in the decades that followed. They still preform for Christmas and throughout the year at the iconic Radio City Music hall. Here’s a link to their excellent website.

About Janet

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's
