"Gaucho Tile-Vintage vegetables Ad-Circa 1940" Tile

Argentina-As horses and cattle escaped from the first Spanish settlers, they quickly populated the fertile pampas region. From these undomesticated resources, emerged the gaucho. Relying on the horses for transportation and the cattle and wildlife for food and clothing, he wandered the vast expanses of the region working for the estancieros when the mood struck him and regularly participating in the contraband trade. The gaucho resided outside the region’s growing urban centres and farming settlements. He developed a strong sense of identity and code of conduct, travelling when and where he wanted. He willingly shared his food and lodgings with fellow travelers. When not working, he spent his time drinking maté or alcohol, card playing, and fighting. (What this has to do with advertising1940s California vegetables..is anyone guess :-)
