Some clippings from inside the booklet. Some of it was in bad shape, and the Aunt Jemima-wannabe pic was in bad taste. So I left them out. On the other hand, you get the scariness that is a crown roast of lamb stuffed with sausage. (Was sausage really cheaper than bread in the 1930s?) And that's plenty scary and disturbing on its own.
Also, I'm sad that I've never seen an ad for "CLIX" shortening.

And then Weird Al offered me a backup role in his "Rocky Road" video, but some phallic processed cheeses showed up yelling about 'purity' and totally ruined our moment!! And that's when I woke up! Doctor, what does it all mean?!"

I really like the illustrations here, and considering this was still WWII, the quantity and color is pretty lavish. Mmmm... plateful of mystery veggie, followed by a gooseberry-currant jam sundae...? Maybe...?
