This advertisement for Dole Hawaiian Pineapple Products came from an unidentified magazine in 1945. The ad uses the central image of a street corner mailbox backed by dozens of letters to ask readers the question, “Can you pass a mail box with a clear conscience?” The ad downplays the company’s product for an overt appeal to the readers’ guilt.
