1940s? 50s? pin up poster “Furthering American Good living” need help dating

[annieelizabeth27]

Does anyone know what year this poster is from or what the poster is promoting? If anyone could provide me with details I would be ecstatic! I love this poster so much and purchased it from an estate sale of a vintage collector, I would love to know more information on it. Thanks so much in advance!

I am awaiting a fix for my inability to access my research databases, but until that happens I saw four references to "Furthering American good living" in four newspaper articles, all from 1945. I will post anything else I find once I can access the databases again.

I finally got access to the databases again this morning and did some poking around for an answer to your question. While I did not see your exact ad image, I saw a great many references to "American good living" and a few to "furthering American good living." The bulk of the references were from about 1944-1945 and seem to be part of a patriotic (war-related) program, to comfort, encourage, and reassure the public that American industry was working hard to "give all Americans a chance to enjoy the basic necessities of American good living."

I opened about 35-40 articles and ads with relevant, albeit brief, references to "American good living" then interrupted that to go to dinner. When I returned, I saw that all the ads, etc. I left open were gone, likely from a brief power outage. I honestly don't have the heart or the time to dig for them again, so I will cull a few, to show you examples of the "American good living" theme.
