One of the members has a fantastic matchbook collection of practically every store, bar, cafe, etc in the Midway from 1930 thru 1970s. They are displayed in scrapbooks and sometimes he has a historic photo of the business, or a menu, etc with the matchbook.

Sammy & I were cleaning house this weekend and we found a matchbook advertising a Milwaukee radio station. Their slogan was “Turn Us Up as High as it Goes & then Turn It Up Even Higher.”

They all had to be matching so the room would look co-ordinated of course. I think I still have one of them in the china cabinet. Love Mom R

It would be stuck right in there like one of those magazine subscription cards. But that’s the price I was willing to pay to read the “Playboy Magazine’s Guide to Winter Sports.”
