Little Helper

That's an enlarged view; back of this—

A box of larger (4 and 5/8 by 2 inch) labels had room enough to include a zip, which suggests the product is from the early '60s.

Some detail, from the larger box—
The "Label House full of ideas"—
These were found recently, when cleaning a place full of... well, all kinds of stuff—after my father's death. These labels were never used, yet they were kept, like so many other things.

The company that made these must be long gone. There's no related business listing for Cheltenham, PA., and one always has to assume the company disappeared through some combination of product obsolescence and de-industrialization of Small Town, USA.

Whatever happened, I wouldn't blame this; business success has never been all that sensative to English skill...
