"English's Choice Antiques. Rt. 1, Box 299, Hiway 99E, Hubbard, Oregon, 97032, Phone 981-9821. Estates bought and sold. Furniture, old glass, china, lamps, brass, etc. OLD TREASURES YOU'D LIKE TO LIVE WITH. Closed Monday & Tuesday. Techniphoto. Henry McGrew Printing, K.C. Mo., 61038, Action Color Adv., 2502 SE Belmont, Portland, Ore., 234-3689. I did some research, but couldn't find any history of this shop or the folks who ran it, alas.

"...I believe sincerely that baking (all cooking, in fact) should be made fun rather than work..." After all, the war's over and you can't expect to be paid wages anymore, Suckers.

I bet that "Sugared Coffee Toast" was good for clearing unwanted visitors out in a big hurry. From Good Housekeeping magazine.

Each of these lovely serving pieces also comes with a matching lighter and ashtray. Except the chafing dish, because it's already lit and doubles as an ash receptacle after all the "Diable" is consumed. From Good Housekeeping magazine.
