The 1957 World Series featured the
National League Champion Milwaukee
Braves defeating the American League
pennant winning New York Yankees, four
game to three. This was the Braves
first pennant since moving from Boston
in 1953. Founded in 1902 by Charles W.
Hamilton, this 1957 World Series, 10 by
15 inch, paper placemat was made by
MILAPACO - Milwaukee Lace Paper
Company.
Paper placemats were used by restaurants to keep their patrons
entertained, educated, and amused while
they were waiting for their meals to be
served. They were meant to be used once
and discarded.
Using a Milwaukee Braves color scheme, the placemat features a Braves
pennant at the top of a flagpole above
a Yankees flag, flying over a crowd
entering the stadium. The Rally Cry
"Let's Go All The Way!" is stated above
the crowd. A Cocktail napkin was also
produced by MILAPACO,
featuring the same design, but without
the helicopter. (below)
