Below is some Halloween ephemera from Pangburn's Candy. Along with a step-by-step, how-to sheet for displaying their Halloween candy boxes. "Anyone in the store with a flair for decorating can put up this display easily." Nice.

This set of LIFE Nature Library books was passed down to me from my Clawson Grandparents when they sold their home four years ago. The information contained inside has not changed that much and the pictures are wonderful. [Published 1964.]
