July 1947

"Travelers Only" ... and we're watching the car tags.  If we see a "1", both you and "your wife" are outta there.

"No, Minnie, I'm not giving you money for tickets ... go buy 'em yourself!" 

"TENDER-BLENDED" ... one of several marketing gimmicks used by breadmakers back in the day ... remember Colonial's "8-Hour Loaf" and "Batter-Whipped" Sunbeam?

(Service to the animals is the next-best work of life?)
