This was literally all the money you needed to own a house in full back then. (Ah, silver currency, how we miss you!)

Ah, yes. Souvenirs, or as we call them here, dust catchers. ;)

Other recipes: Ham and Chicken Squares, Herring in Sour Cream, Hot Mushrooms and Onions (as previewed in the book's intro), Hot English Muffins Creole (American cheese, bacon and tomato on a muffin. Huh.), and Idiot's Delight (kind of a forerunner of Chex Mix, but with Chinese-style noodles and Spanish peanuts).

Sure does look like one luxuriant, welcoming hotel suite. I've gotta' give 'em that... :/
