This 1925 ad shows a fairly ordinary Santa offering the gift of smoked, delicious nitrite-sodden pig-strips:
The microfiche is ancient, so let me help you with their slogan: "The Taste Is So Good." The ad agency must have labored for WEEKS on that one. "You should see them enclosed in their handsome, gaily-colored Christmas wrappers. What a gift for some pork-loving friend!" Indeed.
Haven't seen Santa pushing bacon lately, but if anyone wants to revisit the ad campaign, he's available.
PS - this is why we love the internet. You need a picture that has Santa dressed up as Bacon, or vice versa, and IT EXISTS. You'd be stunned if it didn't.
