Nah. What she's really wishing for is a family member who'd load and unload the dishwasher without constant prodding.

I bet that "Sugared Coffee Toast" was good for clearing unwanted visitors out in a big hurry.

Each of these lovely serving pieces also comes with a matching lighter and ashtray. Except the chafing dish, because it's already lit and doubles as an ash receptacle after all the "Diable" is consumed.

For copyright reasons, we couldn't go behind The Nylon Curtain. How about this lovely gold lame' instead?

Why not use those classic Tiffany sterling baby cups you've got lying around to serve the pre-dinner eggnog? Your family will love it!

The only two drinks on these pages that I've ever tried are the Gin/Bitters combo and the Bronx. Anyone want to weigh in on the other ones?

Just keep sipping that gin and staring at the sparklies until you see the future, or else something in the upper right hand corner that could be the Phillie Phanatic.

Reserve all the egg whites after fixing the gang their Yuletide "Flips." Then you can prepare yourself thousands of meringue cookies the following day!

I don't really know what a badly-rendered porthole has to do with blended whiskey. Oh, well.

It was brown, brown, brown
What a break from all that Spam..."

B&W/Duotone Ads, 1950s

From Family Circle magazine: The always-rare-for-its-time purple soft drink ad (Sept. 1953), along with kitchen linen that crinkles (Sept. 1950) and candy that rattles (July 1953)-- in case you need to make some noise at a parade or something.
GE Appliances Ad, 1956

It's nice that they go through the whole disclaimer about the goodness of "frilly" gifts in the fine print. It makes me wonder why we never got the GE Automatic Perfume Atomizer, the GE Negligee' (basically three strategically placed gold lame' "lightning" bolts held together with silver "filament"), etc.
From the December issue of Household magazine.
