I wouldn't. It kind of supports the authenticity. The poster was glued to the wood when it was still somewhat green but when the wood dried and shrunk the paper split.

In my former life, I had a great Irish Setter, Rusty. My neighbor across the street was cooling an angel food cake on her back porch. Rusty got wind of that cake and cleared a 4 1/2 foot picket fence and had the cake down and eaten before my neighbor could react. Those were the days when bird dogs ran free, regardless of their value. I had never seen Rusty clear a fence that high in the field. Oh, well.

Rich, funny you should mention that. My Wirehair, Eva, would never think about stealing food from the serving area. By the way, Bill, I question the originality of your print. William Harden Foster? Our friend's actual name is William Harnden Foster.

My apologies Mr. Murphy. Fat fingers on a cell phone strike again.

I would have done the same thing Eric.

I think they (wives) believe they were put on this earth to save us from ourselves..... as if we needed saving.

Help needed in identifying the high-energy food items depicted in the OPPORTUNITY poster.
My best guesses. From top to bottom:

hunk of pound cake
Semi-circle of….pie dessert? (pizza too anachronistic for 1930)
A plain doughnut
lettuce
sandwich with two slices of spam visible
