V.F.W. card table, ca 1952

 

Judging by its wear and tear, this card table once belonging to Cuba City's V.F.W. Auxiliary Post has seen a lot of use over the years. Does anyone remember using a table like this?

 

The multiple advertisements on the table's surface suggest that it dates back to about 1952. The following businesses and organizations are represented:
