S-S-S-Wonderfuls

Assorted mid-century, mini recipe booklets highlighted by cute illustrated art. The Bar-S Holiday Ham booklet in particular is super and printed on some strangely thick, almost transparent parchment paper. I have nothing else like it in my collection. The other scans are booklet covers only, with nothing really much of interest inside, unfortunately... rounded out with a couple of super-sized scans from a teeny Pet Instant Drink cook book featuring dancing hot dogs and potatoes.

Tuna Round the World!

Had me a couple of delicious sushi birthday meals this past weekend, and as usual, this got me thinking about my blog, as well as a 1960's Van Camp Sea Food Company "Chicken of the Sea" booklet I have featuring everyone's favorite blonde mermaid cutie and a tremendous, overflowing net catch haul of amazing illustrations and tuna style recipes from "round the world!"

Touring '54

You've read up on how to be safe behind the wheel and "arrive alive" (see our previous post HERE), now it's time to learn about accommodations while out and about touring! Where ya gonna stay? And just as importantly-- where ya gonna eat??!! This wonderful Texaco brochure from 1954 has a few suggestions-- that is, if you can ever get beyond the amazing cover illustration!

Travel Safety Guide '64

As many of us hit the open road this summer, there are some incredibly important bits of info that everyone should remember, and this helpful Travel Safety Guide (and atlas) from the National Safety Council (1964) is just the ticket to stay alive and make it in one piece to all of your perfectly planned destinations. We at AEET suggest that you print out all of these pages and simply tape them to the inside of your front windshield-- this way you will always know what to do in case an emergency should happen to you! Also, it will give you a chance to really admire the super cute artwork and booklet design while traversing a particularly long and windingly dull stretch of freeway! Now-- be gone!
