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.)

The writers were nothing if not modest about their own humble condiment. Which is weird given that it could have gone right up front alphabetically.

"With the following articles in the pantry, the hostess will be able to prepare a most appetizing and attractive assortment of canapes for the impromptu occasion.

"Anchovies, anchovy paste, antipasto in glass or tin, caviar red or black, chicken in glass or tin, crab meat, lobster meat, devilled tongue, devilled ham, frankfurters, small sausages, Pate de Foie Gras, sardines, salmon, smoked salmon, stuffed olives, ripe olives, olives stuffed with anchovies..."

"The experienced host or hostess keeps the pantry well stocked with a variety of tinned and glassed foods which, at a moment's notice, may be fashioned into simple, yet delicious, appetizers for the cocktail hour... Rare and more costly products of foreign countries may be purchased and added to your larder for use when a special occasion justifies a more elaborate and unusual diversity..."

I have a nagging suspicion that nearly everyone during this time was dreaming about caviar and Pate' de Foie Gras rather than serving it.

The toast-your-own-canapes-at-the-table arrangement is adorable.

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.

(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.
