TV Commercials from the 40s and 50s
1950's Peter Pan Peanut Buter
IN 1921, JOSEPH L. ROSENFIELD patented a nonseparating, partially hydrogenated peanut oil, beter known as peanut butter and licensed his patent to Derby Foods, a subsidiary of Swift & Company. Originally packaged in a tin can with a turn key and reclosable lid, the product's packaging was changed to glass jars because of metal shortages during World War II. In 1988, Peter Pan was the first brand of peanut butter to be sold in plastic jars
In the mid-1950s, when Peter Pan cosponsored ABC's Disneyland TV series, advertisements featuring Tinkerbell, like the one below, appeared during the program.

UPDATES
RIVERVIEW
Enjoy the BOBS again -- well, almost!! The newest features on our RIVERVIEW page involve the thrilling Bobs as well as some of the memorabilia you may have collected over the years. Click on the last entry -- Riverview -- in the list on the left of this page and choose what you'd like from the flyout menu.
HOW I GOT WHERE I AM
It's time for you to write your "story" of where and why you're living where you are. Some have chosen to write a lengthy narrative, which has been wonderful; but I fear it's frightened off others.
Please just share what made you choose your hometown to retire in; or if you're still working, please tell us where and what keeps you going. We'll take stories of any size - we just want to catch up on YOU!
You can email them to me at indianamackey@aol.com or post them on "What's New!"
You'll find the answers we've received so far - How I Got Where I Am - listed to the left of the HOME PAGE about half way down and just before "Special Series."
MONTHLY MINIs
We're gathering with you and whomever else can make it on the first Thursday of each month to catch up on each other's lives and to enjoy reminising about our Streator days. We'll look for you at Noon at Chippers.
(The photo from the 65th Mini-Reunion is now on a page of its own. Look under the title STREATOR TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL listed on the left-side of this page. You can choose it from the fly-out menu which appears when you click on it.)
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW BUT ARE
TOO SHY TOO ASK
We didn't have the "computer advantage" when we were growing up so many of us are a little timid when approaching this newfangled contraption. With that in mind, a new forum section entitled "All You Need to Know But Are too Shy to Ask" has been created.
The new feature has directions for many of the skills needed to take full advantage of our web site. It even explains how to print those directions so you can have them in front of you as you navigate into new territory.
A second feature explains exactly how to obtain additional help with any problem which may come up. It's really simple: just email me, as site administrator; and I'll get the answer straight from the experts at Class Creator.
So now, with a little bit of determination, you can fully explore the site, send emails, reply to survey questions, comment in forums, and load pictures. Just click on the link below.
