The Swing Shift Shuffle is a radio program of swing, big band, jazz, boogie woogie and other popular music from the 1930's and 40's that airs every Wednesday from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. (US Central Time) on WEVL 89.9 FM in Memphis, Tennessee, with a live webcast at wevl.org. In addition to the radio show, this blog is dedicated to all aspects of the Swing Era, including art, automobiles, cartoons, comics, history, movies, music, news, science, technology, and anything else that happened during that time. It also includes announcements about events in the Memphis/Mid-South area related to the Swing Era, such as classic movies, concerts, dances, lectures, etc. If you see something that fits the description, send it to me at tim@wevl.org. If you would like more information about the radio show, just go to the Radio Show FAQ page.

Ruppert's Beer - NRA Poster

Aside from the fact that the characters in this 1930's beer advertisement appear to be wooden toys, the other interesting aspect of this posting from Vintage Ads is the NRA logo (as in the New Deal "National Recovery Administration," not the National Rifle Association).  Most of the NRA posters I have seen were not advertising a commercial product, but some sort of community or arts activity.
