Making Flippy Floppy

I found this tucked in a copy of "German in 10 Minutes a Day", which I purchased today at the Queen of all thrift stores, St. Vincent de Paul. It's a polaroid photo of two junge Damen enjoying themselves while looking at another polaroid. As someone who loves taking pictures of people taking pictures, I can really appreciate the novelty of a polaroid of a polaroid. Even better, I'll bet the polaroid they're looking at is also of them, only taken a few minutes before this one. On the back is written "January 1985" in very German looking style of penmanship. The setting leads me to believe this photo must have been taken in what appears to be some kind of Deutsches Steakhaus right before the frosty steins of beer arrived and the girls proceeded to get blotto. Prost!

Earlier this year, I posted some highlights from an old copy of the Spokesman-Review from September 1965. I finally have a follow up to this slowly ongoing series of old local papers. A few days ago, at a junk shop in Wallace, I came across a yellow, decaying copy of the SR dated Tuesday, October 9, 1951 for a measly dollar. Here's some interesting scans from the nearly 56-year-old artifact:
