Follies of the Mad Men #139

[From Life magazine for October 18 1948.]

Leave it to rich people to shrink down their servants and stuff them like genies into bottles! Note cute name of bartender: "Hugh Bline" = Heublein.

Anyhow, who would want to drink out of a liquor bottle that had a little man in it performing his necessary sanitary functions?

To answer your question, Paul, there's sure to be someone out there with that fetish. Most likely if we hang around here long enough one will turn up.
