They say you never see the giant falling bread product with your name on it... Front and back of a promotional leaflet published by Ballard & Ballard Co., Inc. Jersey City, NJ & Louisville, KY (Shown slightly larger than original size. Originally posted to flickr on February 14th, 2011.)

The floating heads aren't so bad. It's the barrel chests on "Roy" and "Al" that are seriously disturbing. From the May issue of Family Circle.

Ad at left: Parents magazine, September 1949. Ad at upper right: Good Housekeeping magazine, c1955. Ad at lower right: Life magazine, August 17th, 1944. Slightly enlarged to show detail. (I wonder if the giant, creepy-looking bird mascot is made out of leather, too.)

From the back pages of the March Western Family. The "Hangtown Fry" still shows up in restaurants around here. I've never been brave enough to try it, though.

Why does the man in the kitchen deserve your unconditional worship? If you believe the dinner recipes inside the magazine, it's because he's heard of seasonings other than salt, pepper, and ketchup. (Though they're not in evidence up front here.) Also, whatever went wrong with Mom's teeth is not my fault. I just put this up because of my thing for toques and Pyrex. Don't judge me!! From the July Issue.

Some more clippings of the intro and chapter headings. Among other things, they recommend that Mrs. America put up 20 quarts of tomatoes and tomato juice for each person in the family. (!!) I feel really bad for anyone in the upper left corner who doesn't like tomatoes.

Peer pressure! Peer pressure! Buy it now and eat it every day or we'll all think you're weird!

Yeah... about that "unlimited" thing. I learned the hard way that it doesn't include oatmeal or kale. :o

Sorry, one-child family. You're not consuming enough to raw material to help beat back the Soviets. So you've been DISCONTINUED! Three sections of a brochure published by the Crown Broiler Company, New York, NY. (Originally posted to flickr: June 29th, 2011.)
