It's 70 F outside. I don't why I'm posting a hot soup ad now. :D Left: Family Circle , September 1953 Ladies Home Journal , April 1947 Center: Western Family , October 4th,1957 Right: The New Yorker , May 9th,1953 Sunset , April 1950

I didn't plan for the recurring hat motif. It just happened. Also, that "dad" at the upper right is clearly the crusty old Doc from Murder She Wrote . Anything to pay off those medical school bills, I guess. Left side: Sunset magazine, April 1950 Center: Family Circle , September 1953 Right: Good Housekeeping . September 1957

The other Calavo™ Free-Sample ladies always say that I over-think the display booth. I think they're just jealous.

Yes, all our foodstuffs were lovingly prepped by off-duty nurses. That's why our chicken soup is 50% more therapeutic than that of our leading competitor.

Some other recipes included were: Roquefort Cream Crumpets, Creamed Old English Turnovers, Frozen Cheese Salad, and Summer Appetizer Salad. Why not try them all...?

There must have been some handy tool available for "lattice-ing" one's cucumbers, but I've never seen it.

Oh, c'mon! Instead of torturing yourself daily with a breakfast of dry packing material, just buy a little extra fabric and sew a larger size. From the August issue of Family Circle magazine.

Not to hurt Mrs. Vamp's feelings, but seriously. How drunk would you need to be to think steak sauce dumped on cream cheese "looks like a chocolate sundae"? Gah.

I have no idea what that thing in the middle is supposed to be. Mrs. Crisp, help me! From Good Housekeeping's Picture Cookery .

"Three meals a day! We must eat to live, But what a thrill New dishes give." It's hard to beat the panache of the B.Y.O. Waffle Iron soiree', but the Uneeda Bakers do their best. From "Champion Peanut Butter Chops" (American cheese, cracker crumbs, and of course peanut butter sculpted to look like meat) to "Pears Olga" (canned pears with some cream, sugar, and shortbread crumbs dumped on top) there's nothing like that Thirties glamour!

I have no idea what that white star thing on the tray is, but I want one!

This ad is about three steps away from becoming a French bedroom farce. From Everywoman's magazine.

Okay, I admit it. I'd totally eat that dip. Maybe with extra Tabasco added. P.S: BACON!!!!

At first, I was relieved that the recipes didn't actually include 7-Up IN the food. And then I read the recipes. [cries]

Corned Beef + Canned Cream of Mushroom Soup + Pickle Relish + Chopped Egg on Crappy "French" Bread (upper left) or Cut-out Beets + Cream Cheese on Crackers (lower right]) = True Love. Okey-doke. :/ From the February issue of Household magazine.

Savory goodness from the Twin Planets of the Blue Plate Galaxy! From the April issue of Everywoman's magazine.
