"Use Star-Kist Tuna All-Ways: Main Dishes, Salads, Sandwiches... " Front and back covers of a 24-page promo published by The French Sardine Company: "Packers of Star-Kist Tuna many other related products..." More interesting ephemera and other info on this company (which didn't change its name to Star-Kist until 1952) can be found at San Pedro: Block By Block . I'm assuming that's where this booklet originated. Thanks, SPBXB.

What About Alcohol? (7), 1946

"... these are the most important facts. You know now what alcohol is and what it does to the person who drinks it. You can understand why people advise you not to drink it. You can see for yourself what is wise for you to do about it." Yes, the next time any man should say to me, "What About Alcohol, Kid?" I vow that my response shall be, "Uh, are you buying? Great!"

"It is only natural that those who make and sell alcoholic drinks wish to make money. Those who have been in this business for any length of time usually get a lot of money from the people who acquire the habit of drinking. Now that people have learned that alcohol really does no good to the person who drinks, but often does harm, the people who make and sell liquor must use many kinds of arguments to sell their wares. Sometimes they do not tell actual untruths in so many words, but only suggest indirectly that the use of alcohol is beneficial and socially desirable..." Yeah, take that, Mr. Draper! I reject your agency's crass manipulation of my deepest feelings! In the future, I vow to drink and serve only alcohol that I brew at home, in the tub! Nyah!

Yeah, Image 3 brings back memories. I always felt pressed and stamped on at my last fifteen temp jobs just prior to sacking, too.

Clippings, enlarged to show detail. It's so rare to see anyone at work in these things, other than Mrs. America in her kitchen, of course. I had to do it.

Not one Spam-wich recipe? Forget it. These recipes are too highfalutin for me!

Our walnuts are extra-good, because they're sorted by ladies in librarian outfits!

So, let me get this straight: Sausage is so expensive that we're going to fix a meatless substitute-- and then garnish it with... real bacon. All right then!

I've eaten in a kajillion Chinese restaurants, but have never encountered a "Chinese Chew." It must be some kind of money-saving candy-cookie fusion, since it has no butter or shortening. I'm tempted to prepare a batch just to see if it's edible.

There's really no sane defense for posting this entire damn epic, so I won't bother to try. :/

Four out of four nameless, voiceless proles agree that sore feet are awful, and that a cold beer would taste terrific right about now...
