The Saturday Evening Post – January 26, 1946 | Barber Shop Cover | WWII Aftermath | Sunkist Back Cover

Original Saturday Evening Post magazine dated January 26, 1946 featuring a classic barbershop scene on the cover — a clean-cut gentleman getting a trim while calmly reading the paper, with vintage clocks, striped barber poles, and old school details throughout.

Cover headlines include:
• “How We Botched the German Occupation” by Demaree Bess
• “New York City” by George Sessions Perry

Inside this issue are several great post-war era advertisements and illustrations, including:
✅ Timken Roller Bearings full spread (industrial factory artwork)
✅ Wildroot Cream-Oil grooming ad
✅ Various mid-century lifestyle and consumer ads

The back cover features a full page Sunkist Oranges advertisement with a smiling little girl holding a glass of orange juice — very collectible and excellent for display.
