Pepper Mills ala Minuet!

World's largest collection of unique pepper mills, ranging in size for 3 inches to 7 feet 6-inches. Just one of the many memorable pleasures in store for you at the Minuet Manor is being served freshly ground pepper from this outstanding collection.

This is seriously one of my favorite postcards ever. It is such a ridiculous gimmick.

Minuet Manor appears to be a Knight's Inn Motel, now. i wonder what became of the pepper mills.

Ray & Betty Leary's
SIERRA INN

1221 No. Federal Highway, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.

Sierra Inn is one of South Florida's most poular restaurants. Its fame has been built on Roast Prime Ribs of Beef, Sizzling Steaks, a superb selection of Seafood. . . and, real, honest-to-goodness Key Lime Pie.

2 notes:
1. The postcard is printed askew that is why it's off-center.
2. It appears the Sierra Inn has been long gone. The address no longer exists but on the site there sits a strip mall featuring:

Copyright 1965, W. Lee Slayton
The back reads:

There's magic in a whiff of smoke. Magic that turns a simple hot dog or hamburger into a sensational meal - or a steak into a regal banquet. With just a whiff of smoke, everyday foods take on new appeal and excitement that no seasoning ingredient can offer.
....just open the book and get acquainted with the flavor magic in---WHIFFS OF SMOKE!!

What's Cooking? How To Win Favor Through Flavor

Inside cover of What's Cooking?

This girl seems to be attempting to please two men with her baked goods. We'll just leave it right there.

The book is loaded with helpful advice on pleasing everyone with food:

Page 17-
It may just be Tom, or it may be 6 or 8 dropping in after the game but any gal who knows her way around a kitchen won't lose a single friend. Joe will wax lyrical over your Brownies, though he never looked twice at your honey-blond curls. Men are like that...

What's Cooking?

A Cookbook for Teen-Agers and Others.

Found this at an antique mall in South Bend, IN. It does not seem to have publishing date but my guess is that it's from 1941-1947.

Here's what the first page says:

WHAT'S COOKING?
You Probably!
....Grasp this book firmly in one hand, and a big spoon in the other. Tie your bob out of your eyes, an apron around your middle, sing out your special battle cry, and plunge.

And-just in passing-remember, the way to a man's heart....

Ball-Band Red Ball - February 1962

This is the February 1962 Red Ball monthly magazine for the Ball-Band Plant of Mishawaka, Indiana.

I have absolutely no idea what the Ball-Band Plant produced

On the cover:
Rip Smith Coated Fabrics Spreader Room dept. 120 is being crowned Suggestion King 1961 by Betty Bucholtz, dept. 113. He is receiving this royal headgear because he garnered the top suggestion during the year. The suggestion, which won Rip $312, concerned an efficient way of salvaging supplies.
