Vintage Ads scanned from an old LIFE Magazine
November 27, 1950 edition.
The pages were very brittle and dry and were crumbling during handling.
The 1952 Ford introduced several notable advancements compared to earlier models:
•Engine Upgrade: The "Mileage Maker" straight-6 engine replaced the older L-head straight-6, offering improved performance with 101 horsepower. Ford’s high-compression “Strato-Star” V-8 was stepped up to 110 horsepower.
•Design Enhancements: It featured a curved one-piece windshield, a redesigned grille with a single center "bullet," and new trunk hinges that prevented crushing the contents. A lower center of gravity along with redesigned springs and shock absorbers gave a smoother ride.
•Interior Improvements: The dashboard included a "flight-style" control panel, suspended pedals, and standard gauges for voltmeter, gas, temperature, and oil pressure.
•Model Line Reshuffle: The base model was renamed "Mainline," the mid-level "Customline," and the top-tier "Crestline," which included options like the "Sunliner" convertible and "Victoria" hardtop.
These updates made the 1952 Ford more modern and user-friendly.

W. Eugene Smith’s Landmark Photo Essay, ‘Nurse Midwife’
“In December 1951, LIFE published one of the most extraordinary photo essays ever to appear in the magazine. Across a dozen pages and featuring more than 20 of the great W. Eugene Smith’ pictures, the story of a tireless South Carolina nurse and midwife named Maude Callen opened a window on a world that, surely, countless LIFE readers had never seen — and, perhaps, had never even imagined. Working in the rural South in the 1950s, in “an area of some 400 square miles veined with muddy roads,” as LIFE put it, Callen served as “doctor, dietician, psychologist, bail-goer and friend” to thousands of poor (most of them desperately poor) patients — only two percent of whom were white.”

Over a thousand Chicagoans, from all walks of life and all parts of the city, came together at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by Davind Lang.
Although a bit chaotic in the beginning, once the leaders of each of the small groups that formed the whole got things in sync, it became a beautiful performance and a moving experience.
I came upon this event purely by accident and it took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Once surrounded by all these people, I was pretty much stuck, so you see some of the same faces over and over again.
This issue of Life Magazine from June 2, 1972 features beautiful Raquel Welch is on the cover, with her derby jersey, her skates, and not much else!
The cover says "Raquel, On Skates as a Derby Demon." The article profiles her role as a roller derby "demon" in the film "The Kansas City Bomber." There are several photos of Raquel and her teammates in the movie.
In addition to the article about Raquel, there are several noteworthy vintage ads in this magazine, including ads for The World Book Encyclopedia; retro cars from Detroit including the Hornet, Gremlin and Matador; and cool vintage Polaroid Land Cameras.

Following the crash of a sister Lunar Landing Training Vehicle at Ellington Field in Houston, Texas, the Bell LLTV (NASA 952) was sent from Houston to Langley for tests in the 30 x 60 Full Scale Tunnel. The LLTV was returned to Houston for further training use a short time later. NASA 952 is now on exhibit at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
Finally got one! Been tryin' for a while on ebay, finally got this great condition issue. The next picture is the reason.
I love little details.
I'm particularly intrigued by the birthday cake (detail of the cake). Is that supposed to be Charlie Brown? And if so, is that supposed to be Snoopy? And why is there no one else sitting at the table yet?
I wanted to know which issue of Life magazine appears beneath the coffee table at the far right. It's this one with Tricia Nixon, the President's daughter, on the cover.
On the back, someone wrote "3/6/71", "Reeves St Hse", "Matt M. 2nd B'Day", and "Roger M., one of Chuck's sisters." I tried looking up streets named Reeves in Oregon and there is a residential street here in Portland. No way to confirm or deny.
In March 2010, Matt M. will be 41 years old. I hope he's doing well, wherever he is.
One of the photographs I found (and purchased for 50 cents each) at SMUT (So Many Unique Treasures), a small store off of East Burnside in Portland. There were two old suitcases full of these photos and each contained hundreds.
