Stationery Saturday: Tongs!

I was unaware that my life was so bereft of tongs until I saw this stationery for Frederic E. Blume, manufacturer and sales representative for “Gaspar’s Sure Grip” Forks and Tongs. If you are planning a picnic for Memorial Day, don’t forget your pickle fork, kraut fork, and fish tongs.

From the Wilhelmine La Budde Papers, 1924-1956 (box 2, folder 4).
