Cover by J C Leyendecker, one of the best known and most prolific American illustrators of the early 20th century.
He famously invented The Arrow Collar Man, and painted over 300 covers for The Saturday Evening Post… the most of anyone till Norman Rockwell came along and tied his record almost exactly… besides illustrating many of the ads inside.
There are things here some people still have, or do, even young people, like buy ice cream from the truck that comes through my neighborhood, or the one at the Wednesday Market.
Lots of people eat TV dinners, though they may not call them that… But I’ve never known anyone ever who considered them Sunday dinner.
Lots of people, fewer than previously, but still lots, read newspapers; plenty of kids walk to school… the distance rules for getting a school bus haven’t changed much, and even more parents work.
Some people had dial telephones well into this century, and a few still do… they don’t work on digital networks, but if you have an AT&T landline, I don’t think they’ve totally phased out pulse dialing.
But penny candy and wringer washing machines were already old fashioned when my parents were kids, and they were both born before WWI.
One of my aunts did have an old wringer washing machine, but it came from the salvation army store, and her sisters, including my mother, said she was crazy.
Pretty sure it’s mostly or totally big flat ribbons of fake hair.
In fact, it looks so fake I thought it was a cartoon, but there seem to be real people behind her.
Not only does nobody have enough real hair to make that huge pile on her head, it doesn’t look like the texture of real hair or even match the part that might be real behind her neck… though that’s probably more extensions.
At first glance, I thought that second guy was a woman… So I was startled to see “her” in combat gear in the 40s.
Meanwhile I’m startled to see Camels claimed to be easy on the throat. I remember them being considered the strongest and harshest… teenage boys would flaunt their toughness by smoking Camels (not that I was ever impressed.)

Cool. Whether or not it’s anywhere close to reality.
Noe..It’s pretty, but imposable.

Okay… I’ll give you a boost, and then you give…. um… Hey! Wait a minute….

Why, now that you mention it, sir… I was just leaving…
You go ahead and enjoy your evening…
Anyway…. I think I hear my mother calling.

Looks like ti was way more trouble than it was worth.

Perfect setting for bartering over a priceless relic while smoking hashish with a one eyed man in Tangier.
The one eyed man is played by Peter Lorre…. and be careful! Sidney Greenstreet also wants this relic.

Got it!
This is a cute one.
