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 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.

You can tell it's not much of a game, because the ash tray hasn't been used. At least not yet... From the September 1st issue of Collier's magazine.

Cynthia does a good job of keeping it under wraps, but you can just tell she's incensed that Marian is late getting there with the Mai Tai fixings-- again!

A two-image, oversize postcard. From the back:

"780 Broadway, San Francisco, Telephone GA 1-6410.

Claude Berhouet and Claudine Berhouet, Props.

Friendly, atmospheric. It is reminiscent of those treasured Gallic Cafes so dear to the heart of the true Frenchman. Located in North Beach. Dinners served from 5 to 10 PM."

Some additional information about this now-defunct hotel can be found here. Another Hotel de France exists several blocks away from where this one once stood.

Shown slightly larger than actual size. Albina Fuel Co. still exists, though not at this address. I haven't had any luck pinpointing a decade for this promo, so I've just guessed. Additional info would be welcome.

Frito Enchiladas! Frito Shrimp Loaf! Frito Nut Roast! Frito Mock Chops! Frito Stuffed Eggs! Fritos and Chili Casserole! Fritos Italian Style! Hominy a La Fritos! Fritoquiles! (Like the "Happy Landings," but, uh, tossed in the pot in a slightly different sequence.) Frito Cabbage! Peanut Fritos!

There's even more. Liver is involved, and chili powder. But for the sake of all humanity, I won't go on.

Die-cut, shown about twice original size. Background "mat" added in Photoshop. The diagonal line on the left side is a slit in the paper, maybe meant for a flower or dollar bill...?

There's a Bette Midler karaoke joke in here somewhere, but it's late and I need a beer. ;)

No, I don't know why Cupid is right-handed but wears his holster on the left. Probably some obscure code lost to us here in the 21st Century.

"In the days of patch and powder---
Dreamful days of long ago--
If the damosels were prouder
Than today we may not know;

"But it is no elf of fancy
That low whispers to us now
Love's persuasive necromancy
There was much the same as now.

"On the island of Manhattan
Dwelt there one of beauty rare,
Where sleek beeves were left to fatten
In the pastures broad and fair..."

Front cover of an illustrated, four-page card. Unsure of the year, and given its overall good shape, it might be a reproduction.
