To build up the economy after the 1930s Depression and 1940s war (all resources going to the war, causing rationing), the Eisenhower administration saw a huge boom in consumption from both 20 years of pent up demand being released and a baby boom.

The culture of consumption is the idea that buying material goods, things, makes one's life happier and better, so there is a good deal of advertising and buying during good times.
