Imagine the years of therapy you'd need after being served this slop at an impressionable age. Ma, it won't stop staring at meeee!!!! Published in the March issue of Western Family magazine.

On the front cover: "Babel Towers." Mostly crabmeat layered with fresh tomato. They're pretty vague about how much mayo you need to hold it all together, so maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Front and back of a 16-pager published by Nozaki Brothers of New York, N.Y.

Nothing says "delicious and nutritious" like androgynous stinging creatures hanging around the salad bowl! Front and back covers, plus clippings from a 24-page promo published by Columbia River Packers Association, Inc., Astoria, Oregon.

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.

Poor Veronica Lake never earned a dime in royalties from this mascot, and she should have. From the February issue of Family Circle magazine.

It's mostly forgotten now, but Tuna-lifting was a big-time sport back in the mid-20th century.

For once, the solid yellow line actually means "Do Pass!" From the April issue of Everywoman's magazine.

Yes, it was "nourishing food" like this which made it possible for my boy to still wear that exact same Western get-up well into his Thirties! From the February issue of Family Circle magazine.
