I could never get the sun to kiss the tomatoes. Never could master those "Magic Eye" pictures, either. From the April issue of Western Family magazine.

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.

My Photoshop skills are pretty limited, but I went ahead and ran these bigger than they were in the booklet. Just because I love 'em so much. (Clicking on the image itself and then the largest "View All Sizes" option will give you a little more detail.)

"Believing that the host and hostess will discover a real need for appetizer recipes we present this little booklet with the hope that it will prove of genuine assistance in the entertainment of your guests-- and at the same time bring to your attention two of America's finest products--" GIN! And gin with some other stuff mixed into the bottle with it!

"...in the form of inspiring cocktails, refreshing highballs and the varied drinks that aid so materially in the enjoyment of any occasion... I had no idea before picking up this booklet that so many different kinds of cocktail shaker existed in the world. It's kind of inspiring.

"...the art of dining, of entertaining and of old time hospitality-- preceded and accompanied by genuine, matured liquors..." And buttered toast. Lots and lots of buttered toast.

"Today in countless homes of the nation, American citizens are welcoming the rebirth of those delightful customs of other days..." ...Drinking in public!! Wooo!! Front cover and first page of a 20-page promo published by G.F. Heublein & Bro., Hartford, Conn.

She sells small shakers for Sequoia-sized celery stalks. Or whatever. From the March issue of Everywoman's magazine.

(L.) Please tell me somebody based a quilt design on these sandwiches. (Including the banana-liverwurst combo.) Because that would rock. (R.) The foods-for-kiddies page also looks great, though I don't know what animal the salt and pepper shakers are meant to be. (Donkeys? A Chihuahua-Doberman mix?) Or why you'd need to salt and pepper a Banana "Junior Custard" in the first place. Some mysteries aren't meant to be solved, I guess.

All of Don Zimmer's kids and grandkids love their corn this way! From the August issue of Everywoman's magazine.

Couldn't resist giving Our Heroes a page all to themselves.

"Steve, I've been thinking that there might be more to life than booze." "What do you mean, Fred?" "Uh, well... Cigarettes, maybe?" "You're right, Fred. I'll have the pack mules grab a couple of cartons when they pick up our dry cleaning tomorrow!"

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

"The Magic Test Tube: It was with high hopes and ambition that two brothers, Charles and Maximillian Fleischmann, landed in America in 1868....Here, perhaps, the wonderful new kind of yeast which Charles had discovered might become a success..." I wonder how you say, "Hic! Not by bread alone, Baby!" in German.

The booklet's red to match the bar patrons' eyes! Woo! Front and back covers from a 24-page promotional booklet published by the Fleischmann Distilling Corp, New York, N.Y.

The floral factions seem to have reached an uneasy truce. But, for... how... long...? From the July issue of Sunset magazine.

One more front and back cover from the Fleischmann Distilling Corporation, New York, NY. (The interior is the same as the first --green-covered-- Binder-designed booklet, except that there's an additional variety of bourbon: Daviess County, illustrated on the last page.)

Nice Danish (or Swedish) Modern stylings, but there's nothing else to be done. They're still green beans from a can. Look upon my works, O Diners, and despair!
