The children's books collection being transferred through cataloging is continually distracting.

Illustration of two woman drawn in a pen & ink style, with one tasting mayo that says "Too Tart!" and she's frowning, while another woman is tasting mayo that says "Ah...just right!" and she's smiling.

From a Kroger Salads cook booklet, 1957. No artist credit (unfortunately, very typical at that time). This is from my own collection and I scanned and posted this booklet on my Flickr back in 2006. I'll share more in this 🧵.
