"The photographs on these and following pages are an abbreviated catalog of modern picnic paraphernalia. There are suitcases which are transformed into a table and benches, collapsible water buckets, asbestos gloves, aprons which become cushions, aprons with pot-holders, aprons for autographs, spits for shish kebabs, molds for hamburgers, grills for frankfurters, barbecue grills on wheels, cutlery kits, fitted cases with non-spillable salt cellars, constant bug sprayers, and dozens of other silly and practical devices."
