The picture shows a front and back view of this Old Curtiss Candy Company Baby Ruth Candy Bar Advertising Premium Kleenex Lipstick Tissue Packet. The packet is not dated but it is believed to be from the 1940s during World War II. This is a full unused compact packet of tissues that was to be kept in your purse. One side has an image of a Soldier stealing a cookie from a woman on a bus or train ride. There is also a Baby Ruth candy bar and a Chef, Cook, or Baker in the corner as well. It is marked as follows: No One Can Resist Cookies Made With Baby Ruth Candy Recipe On Every Wrapper Curtiss Candy Co. Producer of Fine Foods Chicago, Ill. The other side reads as follows: KLEENEX Lipstick Tissues For Your Purse Save Your Handkerchiefs, Towels, and Gloves From Stains. (instructions) There is more advertising inside for The Curtiss Candy Company and a recipe for Baby Ruth Cookies. This premium was made by The Package Advertising Company of Park Avenue, New York. The package closes like a match pack. The opened tissue packet measures about 6'' x 1-7/8''. It appears to be in good unused condition with some wear as pictured. |
