Armour's Star Ham Advertising Campaign

The Armour's Star Ham Snow White campaign from 1938 was just one of a myriad of promotions thought up by Disney marketing genius Kay Kamen. It included in-store displays, magazine advertisements, and free collectible stamps.

"Snow White" Star Bacon die-cut cardboard store countertop standee (6" x 8").



"Happy" Star Jubilee Ham countertop standee (6" x 7").



"Doc" Star Ham countertop standee (6" x 7").



Cardboard store display (34" x 30.5). The standee originally had a man in a chef's hat next to Snow White. See a similar Easter display in another post.



Armour and Company giveaway "Poster Stamps" were distributed by grocers. A coupon good for free stamps could be found in the magazine ads (below).
