Venice
Mrs. Kenny Platt, 820 Millwood Ave., was at her wit's end. Her beloved black pussycat Midnight had been up a 35' palm tree for the past week, and she just had to get him back before the witching hour.
Calling together three tree trimmers armed with ladders and some kindly neighbors to hold out a taut blanket to catch the kitty's fall, Mrs. Platt made a concerted assault on the feline's stronghold.
Alarmed by all the activity, Midnight made a mightly lunge, scaring the blanket holders, who ducked. Midnight landed safely on the street, was scooped up by his mistress, and enjoyed a big bowl of milk.
Happy Hallowe'en!

soluble Coffee product
GOOD!
Real coffee…brewed from our own choice blend…magically dried to a powdered form. The fine flavor now doubly protected in the new red tin.
QUICK!
Simply add boiling water to bring its wonderful flavor to life in the cup.
Dextrins, maltose and dextrose added to protect the fine flavor.
Mmmm. How about a warm-up on the soluble coffee product?
Frightening Food From the 1940s:
Begin with a basic pancake batter mixed with packaged ready-mix. Add a cupful of ground, cooked luncheon meat, ham or other meat and bake pancakes large size. Stack two or three and serve with rich cream sauce or brown gravy. Filling and wholesome.
