These ads are the remainders from going through various October issues of vintage 1960's magazines such as Good Housekeeping, Ladies Home Journal, and Better Homes and Gardens. As a bonus, I'm including "Halloween Party Shari Lewis Style". You're welcome.
Sorry, I didn't scan the recipes on page 260 for you. You'll have to use your imagination.

Blue tinted milk - never thought to serve that to my guests.
ReplyDeletetop_cat_james beat me to it. Gum and raisins are not treats, they are tricks!
