The sight of an attractive menu always makes us immediately hungry for food, but there are a great many collectors who are hungry for the menus themselves.

2. Post Cards
What's your procedure when you receive a picture post card from a friend? If you hang on to it and put it away with some others, you are on your way to a type of collection that is gaining more and more addicts every day. It's an easy hobby to pursue, and it's inexpensive. What cards are worth keeping is a matter of taste, and you must be governed by your own inclinations. Some collectors keep only pictures of nature's wonders, the compelling beauty of the Grand Canyon, the magnificence of Angel Falls, and the flaming colors of the American Painted Desert. Other collectors confine themselves to animals, to historic subjects, or to religious subjects such as cathedrals, churches, mosques, and statuary. Some people collect travel post cards and any foreign or domestic scene is a welcome addition, or they may collect only those foreign scenes which record their own travels. Once you have hit upon a theme for your post card collection— unless it is too distant or exotic—you can start your hunt at the corner stationery store. Haunt these shops in your own town and elsewhere whenever you travel. Let your friends know about your interests, and you'll begin to get new additions to your collection. Post Card Collectors Magazine, Thousand Oaks, California (26 issues a year, $2) and, of course, Hobbies, carry much of interest about this hobby. Advertisements in these and other magazines frequently offer packets of miscellaneous cards at $1.50 to $2 each, or a dozen cards of single subjects at 25 cents to 50 cents. Get your non-collecting friends to collect for you. Almost everybody you know receives a dozen or more picture post cards a year. Get a dozen friends helping in this way, and you will add 150 to 200 cards to your collection in the course of a year. Almost every family has one member who hangs on to things, not because he is a collector, but just because he has an aversion to throwing things out. Such a person may be another good source of post cards. If he is one of the older members of your family, so much the better, for he is likely to have some unusual and rare cards in that battered old carton up in the attic. By the way, if you have many friends traveling abroad, ask them to keep in touch with you. Then you will not only add to your post card collection, but you will have the nucleus of a stamp collection. Who knows, they may even bring you back matchbooks and menus as well!
