These Atlanta-made toothbrushes are “A Guaranted Gay Product.” Awesome. A google search of “Gay Products Company” doesn’t come up with many hits, mainly just stuff on eBay.

Thanks to the guys from Retro Thing for letting me repost the picture.

Meat: The Main Course – a Flickr photoset

A 1942 guide to meats from the fine folks at Kingan and Co.

Recipes, advice, pictures and a preface from Ann King, Home Economic Director at Kingan.

Enjoy delights like:

Fried Ham with Heavy Cream (pg. 3)
Tasti-Cooked Picnic with Raisin and Orange Sause (pg. 5)
Braunschweiger and Celery Canapes (pg. 17)

…everything you wanted to know about Tasti-Square Meats (pg. 15) and much, much more.

… I don’t care what the bumper sticker my wife wants to get me. Got a shoutout from Ward Jenkins from Ward-O-Matic. In addition to being the Animation Director for Primal Screen here in Atlanta, he’s been posting some sweet pix on his Flickr page.

My favorites are in his Fallout Shelter Handbook from 1962 collection that he blogged about a couple of days ago. Saw the pix first on Boing Boing.

I too have a couple of atomic age oddities.

A strange book, that talks about increasing productivity by recognizing the potential in your employees. That is until they reach a critical mass that destroys North America (see book cover for geographic location of powerful people.) Purchased at Victory Vintage which has a mural done by Ward.

Also in my collection…
