Date help: Famous recipes for divinity, penoche, fudge, aplets and all the holiday favorites are collected together on our Christmas Nuts and Candies bulletin. To obtain this four-page leaflet, send 3 cents and a self-addressed envelope to Nancy Morris, Oregonian Hostess House, The Oregonian, 1320 S. W. Broadway, Portland 1, Or.
So, when were 3 cent stamps used? And does anyone know the relevance of "Portland 1"? No zip code was given, either. Part of a Green Trading Stamps ad is here, and bits of what seems to be a society section...this is really interesting!! At least to me....I hope I'm not the only one??
