Easter Eggs, & More

A menu featuring refined sugar in (almost) every course, and an alien bunny landing via a Giant Cosmic Space Egg. Happy Easter, Kids! Front and back of a promotional published by Armour & Co.

Fashion a chic foil corset for your turkey! All the cool families are doing it! One side of a fold-out published by Alcoa Aluminum.

I really, really wish that they'd avoided using the word "toss" in conjunction with this recipe. [cringe]

Front cover of a 16-page promotional booklet published by The Cudahy Packing Company, Chicago, Illinois.

Some clippings from inside the booklet. Some of it was in bad shape, and the Aunt Jemima-wannabe pic was in bad taste. So I left them out. On the other hand, you get the scariness that is a crown roast of lamb stuffed with sausage. (Was sausage really cheaper than bread in the 1930s?) And that's plenty scary and disturbing on its own. Also, I'm sad that I've never seen an ad for "CLIX" shortening.

Eh. Can I just have some of those little rubber balls, please? And a serving of the green stuff, if the cart-toting rabbits on Page 2 haven't already called dibs.
