TUDOR CITY in WARTIME

Today, a look at how Tudor City responded to the Second World War in the world of advertising. From the woman's place in wartime, to gasless Sundays, to relief from 'pressure' days, it's all covered here, making a move to Tudor City a solid value during the war.

Careful readers might also note that the enclave's slogan has slightly changed, now reading Live in Tudor City and Walk to Work. This change happened in 1941, but it wouldn't last long; it was last seen in 1943, when the entire community fell under rent control, and since that meant dirt cheap rent increases, no one moved. Ever. Advertising, sadly, was no longer needed.
