Inside were articles on the company plus everyone's birthdays,births,promotions, weddings and everything else that was happening with the employees ( you know all the personal stuff most companies could care less about these days). This cover has Santa stocking up at the Van Kamp's Bakery section for xmas eve supplies. "Hey Santa don't forget the sticky buns!"

Nice little award piece given out to Yo-Yo contest winners from the the Duncan Yo-Yo company. They had the yo-yo man for their spokesman. They also had another version of with a Yo-Yo head which showed up on some of the instruction booklets and trophys.

Food is Fun

Happy Friday everyone! Last night while trying to organize one area of the garage I came across these two cookbooks. I remember finding the first one and bought it for some reason. I don't collect cookbooks but do have a few with Ad Figures on them. One day months later I found a second Food is Fun cookbook but with a different cover. Inside they are the same so I wonder why they changed the cover? One guess is they wanted a family feel to the book so the replaced the scary single lady with a Ethel Mertz looking lady and her one dimensional family peeking around the corner. Thanks for dropping by Have a great weekend.
