By the time A&P sold the brand in 1958, circulation was said to be 4,000,000 copies per issue.
Although the company has changed hands several more times over the years, you’ll still find Woman’s Day on newsstands across the country — and you can even get your own subscription.
Take a look back here at the 12 monthly magazine’s tagline-free covers during the year 1950, and marvel at how much daily life — not to mention magazine marketing, photography and graphic design — have changed since then! All that year, the magazine would cost you just a nickel.
