July 1961

$1.95 filet mignon plate?   Lady, you'd best wait 'till your husband's payday.  :-)

(This place either didn't offer such high-falutin' cuts to men, or else the entree for those of us with Y chromosomes was a bit pricier)

And THIS is what Newton Minow called "a vast wasteland"?   Oh well, you've heard this rant before.  If only he could see 50 years into the future....
And some years later, after the Standards of Indiana (Amoco) and California (Chevron) cried foul in a nicely-tuned two-part harmony, ESSO became ENCO, before Humble painted an "Exxon" the whole thing in the early '70s. 


Too bad milk didn't come in cans:

Anyone else notice the one for Winn-Dixie "Chek"?
