Advertisements by NON-Glass Companies

One of the more entertaining aspects of searching for advertisements for glassware is to discover an advertisement from a company that is not a glass company, but is either advertising a glassware pattern or is using familiar glassware to showcase their own product. This page has a number of examples of both. Sunkist never made glass - they sold oranges, but the Sunkist reamer is familiar to glass collectors and was featured in many of their ads. Glass dinnerware and accessories were often used by grocery stores as premiums and come-ons. And we all know of the pattern that many folks call "Jewel Tea", when that was the name of the company and not the pattern (which is properly called "Autumn Leaf").
