dancing at the top of the page:

Some of the recipes are as ghastly in their own way as those in WWII
ration cookbooks...

"Ritz and Liver Loaf", anyone?

I don't normally go for "I would never eat that" humor, but this had me
laughing out loud. I love it! There's something about the pictures and
the way it takes itself so seriously. Thanks for posting it.

It is easy enough to read from the page on which it appears.
If you cannot see it clearly enough, let me know and I will copy it
for you. It is just another version of deviled eggs.

"The Living Garage

Make way for living. Roll your automobile out on the apron. And if
you're lucky enough to own a 1958 Lincoln, be prepared for admiring
neighbors. Here is one fine car that's not on view in everybody's
driveway. Lithe and low and clean of line, this fashion leader is an
eloquent symbol of your good taste. As your neighbors will discover if
you invite them for a get-acquainted drive, Lincoln also stands out in
ability. For here is an extra safe margin of power - a lively, limber
driving demean that you'd never expect in a car so spacious. No other
fine car naturally says so many good things about you. The New Lincoln
.. . . the great new star among motorcars".

[For people who wanted to fit a 1958 Lincoln into their lives but had
trouble fitting one into their houses, Ford had a better idea: Buy our
huge new car, and build an enormous new garage - a three-car
"Living Garage" like the one belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Zeder
of Greenwich, Conn. Think of it (or the car) as a living room with
leather seats for six and a steering wheel under the window. Plus tile
floors and a barbecue rotisserie (not to mention bar, soda fountain,
play area and potting sink). Our favorite line in this advertorial
collaboration of Ford, General Electric and the Tile Council: "The
1958 Lincoln Premiere is one of the larger American models. Yet it
takes up only a fraction of the garage space, leaving plenty of room
for a buffet table."]:

And, several other cookbooks had the words

Actually, I DL'd the scan and did a "zoom in".

I was able to read it then, thanks! :-)
