1922MissValentineShown here, from a century ago, is Miss Valentine, from a pamphlet published in 1922, Dennison’s Gala Book, containing numerous suggestions for your parties–nay galas. All of them make use of fine Dennison products, including Dennison crepe paper.

The booklet includes numerous paper costumes, such as this one of Miss Valentine. “The illustrations and instructions are so easy to follow and the cost of materials so trifling that you will have as much fun making a costume as you will wearing it.”  It notes with respect to this costume, “who would not enjoy her tea more if it were served by charming Miss Valentine?” Her costume consisted of a slip-over apron trimmed with red hearts. The bill of materials consisted of two folds of decorated crepe paper, two folds of white crepe paper, and one fold of red crepe paper.

These girls are pulling in some program on this three-tube receiver, which appeared on this Valentine’s Day card, which I suspect dates to the 1930s.  I found it on flickr, where it was posted by user EmilySue.

The caption of this drawing from a 1943 Valentine’s Day themed ad reads: “Today! Right now! In February! Country-Style Frying Chickens!”

The magazine ad notes that in those days of meat shortages, Birds Eye frozen chicken was a wonderful way to bring novelty into your meals.
