MEET THE MISSUS
 

        (Fitzpatrick Bros. 1937)

A series of games exists based on this early audience-participation program.  The first is a rummy-like game based on getting "tricks" of matching question and answer cards. Another one, called Meet the Missus at the Broadcast (1940) is a parchesi game with quiz questions thrown in.  We think there is a third called Missus Goes A' Shopping, and there may be others.  Gameboards are printed on heavy paper and measure a big 18" square when unfolded.  Game instructions printed on the back of the mailing envelope. The Fitzpatrick Brothers (out of Chicago) were the program sponsor.  Their products included "Kitchen Klenzer Automatic Soap Flakes" and "Big Jack Laundry Soap"
