Ah, yes. I believe the "Parade Token" was what ultimately inspired Bitcoin miners. From the July issue of Family Circle magazine

Look at the gorgeous stationary I bought to use for my-- Bucket List!! ... [sigh] I'll just show myself out. :o From a grocery coupon booklet: Quick Complete Meals For Summer.

Clipped from the October issue of Western Family. (I like to think that ad size = priority. Home-cooked breakfasts rule, but don't forget to feed the cat. Later, we can have some cake and cider. As for the chores? Forget 'em 'til tomorrow!)

Mom gave the seeds to the neighbor because she couldn't stop scrubbing the sink long enough to go outside. :/

Is she clapping her hands with glee over the shiny, shiny pot, or warming them? From Good Housekeeping's Picture Cookery book.

Is she smiling like an angel because this stuff really works, or is it just from the chemical fumes? From Good Housekeeping's Picture Cookery .

The "Chinese Lantern" jar is adorable, but... wow. I bet it led to a lot of spills. Clipped mostly from Family Circle magazine.

Thanks to her automatic dishwasher and premium soap powder, Christine never minded setting an extra place at dinner for her husband's imaginary friend. From the March issue of Sunset magazine.

The combo planter-aquarium-hurdy-gurdy prize is sorta' cool. I bet you had to sell about ten thousand "flash" brushes before you could win one, though.

Dear Nineteen-Fifties, Please calm down. There really is such a thing as being too excited about Laundry Day. Also, pompoms on an apron? C'mon. Sincerely, alsis35 From the February issue of Household magazine.

Essentials for cultured ladies all around the world, in no particular order of importance. Clipped from the pages of March's Sunset magazine.

I wasted a lot of time putting this one together, because my mind was boggled by the saga of "Baby X: Marmalade Junkie." Not to mention wondering what the Incredible Mystery Substance in Fox Beer's World Famous Water might be. (Cheese curds? Uranium fragments?) (L) From the May issue of Better Living magazine. (C) & (R) From the April Issue of Everywoman's magazine.

This was the first of the Pauper cookbooks I ever bought, out of a one dollar slush pile in a now defunct warehouse-sized used book emporium. Fifteen or so years later, I'm still not sure if these recipes were really meant to be taken seriously. (For example, I feel bad for the at-home cook who had to figure out the specifics of a direction like "Bake in two layers...") On the other hand, I always wished for somebody to animate McCrea's fabulous drawings. And I still do. Other recipes: Stuffed Peppers "Ricci", Shrimp Creole, Saltimbocca Florentine, Squabs In Madeira, Shrimp Soup, Turkish Shish Kabob, Tetrazzini of Oysters, Tarragon Chicken, Veal Scaloppine, Veal Scaloppine With Mushrooms (?), Viennese Malakoff Pudding, White Mountain (candied chestnuts with brandy and heavy cream), and Zabaglione.

Note the figure, the dress, the lack of any view that might reveal legs. "Mama O" is clearly related to that mermaid who pitches canned fish.

Remember that time when the babysitter forgot her glasses and confused this jar with the Ovaltine jar? Well, we can look back now and laugh, right? From the August issue of Sunset magazine.
