This is a copy of a vintage Ford Times Magazine dated April 1955. It is full of nice pictures and articles that reflect life in simpler times.

Some of the articles in this issue: Feathered Dive-Bomber - Walt Whitman"s Long Island - The Vanishing One-Man Cheese Factory - Ranch Wagon Ideas - Favorite Recipes of Famous Taverns - And more.

The Ranch Wagon Ideas article is pretty interesting...

This is a very nice cookbook titled "Flame Favorites - Tested Recipes, Cooking Charts, Equipment Facts." The cookbook was prepared by the Home Economics Department of Lone Star Gas Company. There is no copyright in the book, however, based on the graphics in the cookbook and other cookbooks purchased with this one, I believe it to be from the 1950's.

The cookbook starts out with the Definitions of Cookery Processes and has a nice chart of Measures and Equivalents...

This 1975 issue of the Farmers' Almanac is full of wit and wisdom! The Farmers' Almanac was practically the Bible for farmers in the past - telling them the best times to plant crops, when to harvest and other tidbits.

This issue has some very funny items in it. There is a chart on employee performance - made in jest - that gave me a couple of good giggles...

I am sure the feature article in this issue of Esquire Magazine will raise eyebrows. The main title is, "The Use and Abuse of Billy Graham."

Over a picture of Graham and his associates praying after a session with President Truman is the statement, "After an unpromising White House meeting, Truman ordered that Graham not be admitted anywhere near his vicinity ever again."

There are many pictures in this article of Graham with President Johnson, Presidenet Nixon and more...

This book will tell you everything you wanted to know about Ballroom Dancing. It was written by Mel and Helen Day of Boise, Idaho. The book was written as a memory guide for those who had taken dance lessons, but also to introduce the variety of pattern & rhythm to be found in Social or Ballroom dancing.

It is Greek to me, but the book gives instruction on dances such as the Foxtrot, Jitterbug, Tango, Mambo and more...
