More Minneapolis vintage

At work yesterday, I put out all the vintage Twin Cities/Minnesota stuff I had--and it started selling immediately. 
With the warm weather (50ºF/10ºC) melting ice, and with the promised departure of ICE, this was our busiest Saturday in a couple months, and people were in a good mood.

Here are some more photos--everything was manufactured in Minnesota or inscribed with some MN connection.

BELOW: These addresses are close to where I live--I thought I might go deliver them!


BELOW: 1950s Civil Defense Atomic Bomb Safety pamphlet. 
"Lie flat next to wall!" ? ... So wall can fall on you and your death will be mercifully fast?

BELOW: The Bemidji Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox patch is not vintage ... but it's so cute.

BELOW: I have never heard of a bog lemming, and telling me it is "a robustly built vole" doesn't fill me in much.
