EASY-DO PARTIES -- ELECTRICALLY : 15 PARTY IDEAS...MENUS...RECIPES

St. Louis, Missouri (USA): Milliken Publishing Company, 1960. Staplebound Pamphlet. Very Good. Wonderful Staplebound pamphlet (8 1/2" x 5 1/2"), published just this side of JFK, probably provided to local utilities in order to mass-promote their message: "Live Better...Electrically". Fabulous period artwork to both front and rear covers. Front depicts an aproned and bejeweled, svelte and shapely, blonde, a wooden spoon absentmindedly cocked in her right hand, with her braceleted wrist relaxes in her left pocket. In front of her is a bowl of dip surrounded by canapes, and in the background, behind the lovely modern electric stove, are two smiling carefree women and one man bathed in shimmering light (electric, of course!). On the rear cover is the man of the house, in front of his double electric oven (and through the glass panel of the top oven, one can see a roast or ham. He is making ice cream sundaes, flanked by his electric dishwasher on the left, and his electric blender on the right. He too is blond, slender, with a white shirt and dark slacks, smiling, as he delicately inserts the cherry into the last tall Sundae glass. Is dessert to be served before the roast? One should hope not! 34 pp. with the inside of the back cover entitled: "More Party Helpers", and ten electric appliances featured with graphics and an explaining paragraph about each: Electric Rotisserie, Coffee Percolator, Electric Saucepan, Blender, Waffle Baker-Grill; Roaster; Skillet; Warming Tray; Ice Crusher; Can Opener.
