Description
Three color 5 1/4″ x 13 3/4″ ad that is for Spam Pork Shoulder Meat with Ham Meat Added. This ad also has George Burns and Gracie Allen as a part of the ad, starting with George asking “Gracie, what the best way to cook an egg?” and, her answer is “With SPAM“. It then gives the recipe for “SPAM ‘n’ Eggs by Gracie“ which is to “Quickly brown quarter-inch thick slices of SPAM in frying-pan, serve with fried eggs. Makes a grand Sunday morning breakfast. It’s just one of many tricks you can do with the Hormel meat of many uses”. Below these it shows George staring at a sliced-up bit of SPAM and he shouts, “Look, Gracie, it’s a SPAM bake” as Gracie in the next picture, looking at a plate of waffles and SPAM says, “Don’t be silly George, it’s SPAM ‘n’ waffles”.
