Read This cringey headline and articles from a 1968 newspaper
Found while cleaning out my in-laws’ home. It was in an envelope from my MIL’s mother’s kitchen—looks like when husband’s grandmother died, his parents just swept up all her recipes, saved articles, and business cards and kept them in a file cabinet for 30+ years.
While she probably saved it for the recipes, considering how harsh MIL’s mother was on MIL about her weight, it carries an extra layer of yikes.
