The Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is a centuries old trek across northern Spain done by following "The Camino de Santiago", the road to Santiago. Before February of 2001 I had not heard of "The Camino" nor of the Pilgrimage. By the end of October of that year I was in Santiago after completing the walk myself. I thought that when I reached Santiago my journey was over but I see now that my journey started way before I got to Spain and still has not ended.

And She Did It All By Herself
(Time, March 21, 1955)
I like this ad. First, for the simplicity of the design. Second, for the drawing done by artist Saul Steinberg, and, finally, for the the copy. Nice little story about a woman buying a pattern and then making her own dress which she proudly wears in the Easter Parade.
A brief history of the Simplicity Patterns Company along with some samples of vintage pattern envelopes here.
