While not directly related to Thanksgiving, as hero of American Folklore, Johnny Appleseed certainly was a great American in the tradition of Paul Bunyan and Davy Crockett. Al Dempster provides the excellent illustration; see the original art work over at Kevin Kidney’s Flickr site (link).
Where is the Carnation Delivery Truck today? It appears to have been a working vehicle just like the rest of the Gurrmobiles, if they have it, they should run again.
Here’s some wonderful Paul Hartley illustrations and an interesting article on how money began.
You can also see the original of this Paul Hartley beauty over at Kevin Kidney’s Flickr site (link).
Lots of self promotion in this magazine.
Why did they handle the subscriptions though New York?

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

Fantastic article - especially love the illustrations and their style.
Enjoyed seeing this. Neat pic of the late Cheryl Holdridge sitting atop a coin.
Happy Thanksgiving all!
Happy Thanksgiving, VDT.
Best wishes from an anonymous fan. I really appreciate what you do.
The Carnation truck is now at a Carnation museum. I have a picture of it, and will post it soon!
Happy Thanksgiving, Tim!
