Household's Hi Speed Ad, 1957

Was this photo supposed to make the "Cook Book" seem big enough for its own room? ("Freddy, be a dear and take the handtruck and bring in Mother's recipe collection. I think some nice orange-glazed pound cake after supper would be just the thing...")

Also, something clearly went wrong with that stick of butter. Maybe it's transforming into a bar of soap.

From the September issue of Household magazine.
