Mrs. Frankfurter was ill an unable to pose for the picture.


This was a "first" of its kind photo shoot arranged by Good Housekeeping magazine and they gave permission for a number of newspapers to publish as well. The ladies with "no fuss" and "graciousness" agreed to assemble in the Supreme Court for the photo session. Among themselves, they decided to wear formal gowns.

This was published in the April 1958 edition of Good Housekeeping magazine.

1958 Greatest Magicians

 Milbourne Christopher, shown here levitating a beautiful assistant with the greatest of ease, is acclaimed by magicians themselves to be the foremost historian of magic.  His immense reference library covers 5000 years of hocus-pocus, and his Manhattan apartment is the largest museum of magic in existence.  In addition, Chrisopher is one of the greatest of contemporary wizards and is past president of the Society of American Magicians.


 Suspicious London bobby was the first spectator to see David Devant's startling illusion, "The Mascot Moth"



 Bearded DeKolta made his wife disappear in view of audience.  Newspapers proved no trap doors were used.



"Onaip" was a staggering illusion in which a piano and pianist revolved in midair during musical number


Horace Goldin was a master at sawing an assistant in half, one of the most famous and spectacular of all stage illusions  All other magicians placed the girl in a closed box, but Goldin simply had her lie on a plank throughout his surgical sorcery.


This appeared in the December 1958 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine

1958 Ad: Hi Ho Crackers

This ad depicts life in 1958.
Yes, ladies cleaned house & cooked in dresses. Most ladies magazines encouraged them to "look good for husband when he got home from work".

When I was young, in the early '60s, girls still wore dresses to school.  I protested in first grade and my mom made some slacks for me to wear.  I was a tomboy.

The struggle was real with the cord telephone. Waiting your turn to use the phone. Party lines in rural areas.  Worrying that the boy you liked was going to try to call and get a busy signal because a sibling was on the phone.  Good times.

Marriage of Delores D. Goad and Eugene G. Roguszka ~ 1958 newspaper clipping

PLEASE.
Like, comment, or share if this is something you enjoy seeing.
This will help me determine if it is worth the time it takes to continue providing these clippings.  I have papers from the 1800s through about the 1970s.

Wedding was held at the home of Mr & Mrs Thomas T. Walker.  Mr. T.E. Halgren officiated at the double ring candlelight ceremony.   Bride was given in marriage by Stephen D. McCutcheon.  Mrs. Myrle Brill was matron on honor. Best man was Thomas T. Walker.

Beautiful description of the wedding.
