Ads are from the January 1, 1951 Courier Express newspaper.
The Berger’s Ad? Yup those are 1951 prices. I love the Berger’s logo.
I’m drooling. Now the only department type store that sells fabric is Walmart. Yeah, not much of a selection there…
Remember when department stores sold sewing machines? Me neither. J.N. Adams had an entire White Sewing machine department.
I want that coat.
I think Portable should be in quotes. I can barely carry my 35 year old sewing machine, I don’t event try with the 50 year old “portable”. Machines in 1951 were made of metal. Heavy metal.

Mix ingredients together and let rise for an hour to an hour and a half. Roll out on a floured board ½” in thickness. Spread poppy seed mixture over the rolled out dough. Roll into two long rolls pressing ends together. Pat milk over top and bake for ½ hour at 350°
Poppy Seed Mixture
1 pound poppy seeds
½ cup honey
¼ pound blanched almonds
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg
Pour boiling water over 1 pound poppy seeds. Let stand for one hour. Strain through a cloth and grind as fine as possible through a meat grinder. Add ½ cup honey, ¼ pound blanched almonds, ½ cup sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 egg. Mix well and spread over dough. When rolls come out of over sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Dissolve yeast and half of the sugar in 1½ cups scaled milk, which has been cooled to lukewarm. Add 1 ½ cups flour. Mix and put in warm place to rise until bubbles appear (1 ½ hours). Add egg yolks, salt, rest of sugar, melted and cooled lard, and remaining lukewarm milk. Beat well. Gradually add rest of flour, mixing well after each addition until smooth and elastic.
Cover and place in warm place, until dough doubles in bulk. When dough is light, stir with spoon and let rise again. Shape into small balls about the size of a large walnut. Put into well-greased baking pans, well spaced, about 15 in a 10” x 15” pan. Brush top with melted fat and let rise in warm place until light. In center of each bun, make a small indentation with fingers and fill each with 1 tablespoon of filling. Return to warm place to rise again. Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes until brown. Remove from oven, brush with melted fat, and remove from pans.
