Sometimes I go down a rabbit hole of browsing old newspaper articles, mostly to look at the ads. This one from 1984 is remarkable in part because of how many components of the “sandwich” were about to become obsolete. Also love “Ask for Carol”…

Copy of an old newspaper ad showing a very tall illustration of a burger with a catch phrase: "A good printing job, like a good sandwich, takes the right ingredients." The layers between the buns are depicted as typeset words in varying fonts: "Layout, Type Composition, Paste-up, Camera work, film stripping, platemaking, presswork, finishing, packaging, shipping, and delivery."
