Howard Johnson’s kids’ paper menu election year White House games, quiz 1972

Description

It was 1972, a critical presidential election year, so Howard Johnson’s did its civic duty by giving kids a menu that offered a history lesson on the White House and some key presidents. Model of house, fun quiz, stories, game! (Spoiler: Richard Nixon won re-election, but resigned two years later in light of the Watergate scandal.)
This menu measures 5.5 x 9 inches when folded and 11.5 x 18 inches when unfolded.
Yes, there are some minor food stains visible on this paper menu.
I am auctioning off a collection of vintage magazines for a friend. Her mother was originally a coal miner’s daughter from Kentucky but she found love with a man from Boston. They lived in Framingham, MA together for several decades. Her husband died two years ago but she soldiered on. However, during a Northeaster last fall of 2020, a tree fell on their 1950s ranch house. This meant that she had to move out quickly for safety’s sake.
This woman is now safe in a new home. But she is forced to sell off all the magazines she has been saving – one could say hoarding -- since the 1950s. She has been a very committed collector and has lots of great magazines that span five decades.
I am selling this huge array of magazines in lots to speed the process. They will be grouped according to category. Please note that these magazines reflect normal loving use and that means modest edge wear. Some have a slightly musty odor that can be remedied by a couple of days of airing out. Sometimes it also means pen or pencil writing on certain pages. Please note that I am not listing every possible flaw in these magazines, for the sake of moving them out quickly.
Please see my other auctions featuring books and magazines from the collection of the Kentucky coal miner’s daughter who moved to Framingham, MA.
Once again, I have been an eBay seller since 1998 -- yep, 23 years -- and I have 100% positive feedback. Bid with confidence.
