latest ashtrays from my collection

Feeling flush a month or so ago, I bought two lots of old ashtrays online.

Here's what I got:
My first one from Tijuana for Cerveza Mexacali Beer!
====================================================================

This one's a bit of a disappointment.
Was there really a Franklin Restaurant and was it really The Home of Good Food
Or - as the bottom of the ashtray implies, just a sample from an ashtray maker.
=======================================================================

Still in business !!
==========================================================================

Another sample, another disappointment.
=========================================================================

My French is not great, but it would seem Mme. Laura's specialty is coupons for liver.  
========================================================================

Visit The Music Box, and then hightail it for the Frontier Tap and Bar.

Make sure you say 'Hi!' to Dutch and Alice.
======================================================================

Slim Jims putatively make your next drink taste better.
As long as that next drink isn't milk, orange juice or espresso.
==========================================================================

Here's a knee-slapper in comedy Pennsylvania German.
translated as 'The groundhog lodge on the Lehigh, founded 1933.'
Here's a Wikipedia thing about this stuff:
=========================================================================

If farmers like it, so should you.
Still in business !
======================================================================

Douglas Painting and Decorating
=================================================================

Phone 1890 ??
==================================================================

A hotel, the restaurant of which I used to work in, opened up a water park in the back, and rather than calling it what it is - a WATER PARK - they call it a 'resort.'
==========================================================================

Now THIS is ashtray advertising at its finest.
