Thank you!

 

That Oriental Show-You Company booklet, with my name on the cover, was bought for me (from what I remember) by my first live-in girlfriend's mom (I was already cooking and even taking Chinese cooking classes!)- at the Santa Barbara flea market, probably around 1977. Both the girlfriend and her mom were flea market/second-hand store/garage sale hounds. As you can see, she valued me highly, and paid all of 10 cents for it.

 

Digging a little deeper...

These pamphlets, booklets, etc. all have a story to tell!  And obviously, they were well traveled too!

I don't know what the Indiana state motto is, but they missed the boat: "The show you state." Or "The I'll show YOU state!"
