  Welcome to the 1950s. They used quotes to make it clear it was the pictured character saying that. They also standardized using quotes to identify the motto on businesses and trucks. The SomeECards meme format is a caricature of that.

  Bill’s Burgers “We serve pleasure”

  Jack’s towing “Reliable hookers”

  Manny’s Milk “We’ll deliver that white cream that puts a smile on your wife’s face”

    Manny’s Milk “We’ll deliver that white cream” that puts a smile on your wife’s face"
