Ancient cats, and one of them found its way into this now almost-ancient paper collage I made back in the day.

This page was more age-darkened than they usually are. Sorry for the poor quality of the "recipe card" typeface in particular.

But you can just feel the enduring authentic French-ness of this still well-known delicacy. Totally worth the trouble, right?! :P

Not quite as lifelike as those beauty salon-bust play sets from my childhood. Close, though.

"How To Prepare Foods For Freezing (2)," 1958/9

This is the inside back cover. I'm kind of sorry that I didn't share the chipper cartoon where a panicky rooster is chased by an axe-wielding Coldy The Penguin™. Also, that thing which looks like a grease spot halfway up the left side of the page is in fact just a shadow cast by some mysterious off-camera food item. Like I said earlier: so much excitement and so little time.

"How To Prepare Foods For Freezing (2)," 1958/9

Here's the inside front cover. Aside from these lavish all-American meal displays, there's not much happening in the 36 or 44 pages (depending on which year's volume you're perusing). At one point a Coldspot penguin gives various food prep instructions, and a demure blonde hausfrau looks likes she's asking one of the freezer models out onto an off-site dance floor. But they lacked the weirdly-hued bravado of these photos.

The saga of Coldspot Freezers and Sears, Roebuck and Co. is a complicated one. Two volumes, one from 1958 and the other from 1959. They are more or less identical. I felt real pain about choosing which front cover to post. This one had the better title text, but the other had the better logo: it was kind of Art Deco crown-ish. But there you go. Life is all about choices.

amylsacks has posted:

Think of how exotic this must have looked to the "family" demographic back in 1959. You've got your (admittedly crappy) NORTHWEST U.S. beer and an image of fish in its natural (as opposed to canned or frozen plywood stick) form. Plus, nobody even mentioned Lent anywhere in the ad text. Pretty edgy. From the April 1959 issue of Family Circle.

Uh, yeah. Is this like that killer episode of Pinky and the Brain in which Calvin Brain explained that his fashions were "Big, yet small... Dry and yet... slightly moist..."?

A contender for worst ladies luncheon of the decade. (Any decade, really.) The soup appears to have toothpaste as its base. The gelatine was obviously flavored with the coffee-esque powder and possibly with strands of spaghetti, too. The cake looks like it was carved from a block of cement. Even the way everything's jammed together in the layout makes me feel kinda' woozy. From the May issue of Everywoman's Family Circle.
