Current Similes From a Fractured Era
A collection of satirical lines likening social attitudes to national politics. The quips lampoon scarcity and excess, from Thanksgiving dinner gluttony to the era’s party triumphalism, reflecting 1930s public mood and humor about policy shifts.
Quotable Fragments Reflect Yet Another Era
A collage of similes contrasts the sheen of a New Deal dollar with crowding of a federal prison and the odd ease of splitting a love triangle. The lines probe courtesy, likening some people to a bulldog in a front hall toward strangers.
Boxed Chocolates and Candies Featured in Local Ad
An old newspaper fragment advertises boxed chocolates and peppermint items priced per pound. It mentions cherries, mints, satin finish candies and chocolate drops, with The Book Shop referenced as a vendor or related listing.
