A grocery circular that features a half-hearted rock n roll/Beatles theme, featuring terrible Beatles caricatures and an ad copy that reads "let your hair down and hurry to Family Fare soon. We've gone wild this week and are having a real SWINGIN SALE! You'll find big savings in every department...besides our fantastic Everyday Low Prices on over 4000 items. Here's your chance to really cut your food costs to the bone and have a lot of fun at the same time. So get hep...lead dad and the kids in the family chariot and make a 'beetle line' for Family Fare"
One of my favorite advertising tropes from the early-mid 60's, was the insistent shoehorning of the Beatles and rock n roll music into ads by people who clearly had never actually seen or heard of the Beatles or rock n roll music (Family Fare in Holland, Michigan 1964)
