The "winking housewife" is very familiar -- does she come
from a Pillsbury cookbook, or other 1950s ad?

This is that ebay ****er from a couple months ago. Now he comes back here
begging for help and posting some bogus link can only be bad news.

Dunno, but if you know anyone in or near the Twin Cities, you might have
them go to the Pillsbury Mill City Museum in Minneapolis: lots of
displays of historic Pillsbury packages and advertising material going
way back.

http://minneapolis.about.com/od/hist...a/millcity.htm

Be sure to have them go up into the "Flour Tower". The multimedia
elevator ride is well worth it. Saw it last summer and was very impressed.

* By the way, did you intend to "snurl" that link? It works out to
dt.common.streams.StreamServer.cls. My browser (Firefox) has no idea
what it is and pops up a box asking me what to do with it. What is it?

It's an image that was posted on the Salt Lake Tribune website.

Unfortunately, I know no one in the Minneapolis area - although I
did pore through over a thousand Pillsbury images.

I'll find that image some day, when it no longer matters

Well, there's always that ...

I found the site for the museum itself: http://www.millcitymuseum.org.
Has contact info (phone & email). Perhaps if you contacted them, someone
there might have enough time on their hands (and interest) to look at
your picture.

Thank you!

I guess the face could also be from a makeup ad, but it looks like
a winking housewife fooling the family with some sort of
1950s "instant" dinner

It doesn't look familiar to me, although it's in a very familiar
illustrative style - could it have been on a Coke sign?

OK, I opened it because you did and you're still here.

The winker is not familiar and looks like a modern graphic evoking an
earlier era.

Hi Kris,

It won't open for me, my browser hasn't a clue what the file is.

Same here (Firefox 3.6.8 if anyone cares).

I'm curious what browsers folks who *can* see the [whateveritis] are
using. Firefox has no idea what to do with a ".CLS" file.

I didn't realize everyone would have had trouble, or else I'd

To Kris: what "1950 instant dinners"? That was a time of cooking and
baking from scratch, both for the family and the dinner parties that
were the usual weekend entertainment. We collected and traded recipes,
the utility company had home economists who gave demonstrations and
recipe booklets - and graham crackers were the closest the kids saw to
store bought cookies. jan

Warning: that page (http://doughgirl.com or http://www.doughgirl.com)
gave my computer the Blue Screen of Death. More than once (I wasn't sure
it was the site, so I tried it again). I *never* get BSODs. Weird.

Actually not true Jan. 1950's were the advent of the TV dinner era although
it certainly wasn't seen in every home by a longshot. Working mothers were
much more common, especially in the city. Canned soups had been about for
some time but they got used more and recipes were traded based on them. By
1960, the idea of feeding your kid a storebought bread samwich with a can of
campbells soup for lunch was no shocker at all.

Well, good for you. Any web site, especially one as badly designed as
this one, that actually crashes my computer is on my shit list forever.

The website seemed like it was designed by an armature, but your
comment is equally pathetic. Upgrade your computer and join the 21st
century.
