How... What... & Why
J. Bibby & Sons Ltd. - 1955

Notes:  Cards are approximately 2-1/2" x 3-1/8", and were premiums for
"Trex Club" members. (Trex was a brand of cooking fat, probably about
equivalent to the "Crisco" brand in the U.S.) The album cover features a
message from Professor A. M. Low (D.Sc., A.C.G.I.), stating "Too many
people go through life like cabbages because they have not discovered that
observation is the greatest fun in the world."
