Climbing out of the deep archives again for today’s entry into the Countdown, we’re going to reach back over four decades. \u00a0 Taking a look at a 1973 Halloween candy sales brochure from the Curtiss Candy Company, best known for their Baby Ruth and Butterfinger bars (now produced by Nestle), I think you’re really going to dig it.\u00a0 Make the jump to check it out.<\/p>\n

The following over-sized brochure was created primarily for candy salesmen and distributors so most consumers would have never seen it.\u00a0 Yet today, it stands as a wonderful artifact and another rare glimpse into our shared confectionery past.\u00a0 CollectingCandy.com is the only place you’ll find this stuff, so without further ado, lets get to it!<\/p>\n

The brochure was designed with overlapping pages that would flip up to reveal single tall presentations of promotional product lines.<\/p>\n

I love the Baby Ruth and Butterfinger Jrs. packages shown on that page, and while I don’t have any of those snazzy multi-packs in my archives, I do have a set of the Junior bar wrappers themselves:<\/p>\n

Curtiss Chewees and Choco Logs are two delightfully-named products that I thought deserved to be highlighted:<\/p>\n

The back inside and outer cover wrap up the brochure with a product ordering table along with some handwritten notes that a distributor or salesman must have made those many years ago.<\/p>\n

That’s the end of the brochure and that’s everything I’ve got to share on it.\u00a0 It’s a piece I’m so happy to have uncovered and so thrilled to be able to share today for the Countdown.\u00a0 I hope you’ve enjoyed the look.<\/p>\n

See you next time!<\/p>\n
