The Universal Food Chopper
Image
A reproduction of an ad or counter card for the Universal Food Chopper. Text on the image reads, "The Universal Food Chopper, and a few of the things it chops." The chopper appears in the center. Around the chopper is a line of various vegetables, fruit, fish, fowl and meat animals all heading for the hopper. All of the vegetables and fruit are depicted with legs and feet, to show they are running. A pig is shown halfway through the chopper and another squealing pig is about to take the plunge.
