Alan Mays' photos with the keyword: sandwiches

An early twentieth-century postcard with a parody of the well-known nursery rhyme. Mary and Her Little Lamb Mary had a little lamb You've often heard it said The lamb that Mary took to school Was on a slice of bread. Blackboard: The dog and cat / a big rat.

"Mister Softee Cart Wheel. The very best sandwich. Ice milk. Net contents, 3 fl. ozs. Mr. Softee, Runnemede, N.J."

"Sliced Butter-Nut Bread. Convenient for toast, for sandwiches, for table use. It's made with milk." The greatest thing since sliced bread!? I've used the phrase but never knew that sliced bread was an innovation that only dates to 1928. This Butter-Nut Bread sign, probably used in stores in the late 1920s or early 1930s, uses sliced bread as a selling point, suggesting that it's convenient for toasting, making sandwiches, or just eating at the table.
