DEPRESSION ERA "KROGER'S SILVER MINE" SAVINGS BOOK

 THIS ITEM IS A PAIR OF VINTAGE DEPRESSION ERA SAVINGS FOLDERS FROM KROGER'S GROCERY STORE CHAIN. THE SAVINGS FOLDERS ARE ENTITLED "KROGER'S SILVER MINE". DURING THE DEPTH'S OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION, MANUFACTURERS TEAMED UP WITH RETAILERS TO PROMOTE THEIR PRODUCTS AND HELP BOLSTER SALES. WITH THIS BOOKLET OR A COMBINATION OF BOOKLETS AN INDIVIDUAL COULD "SAVE" ENOUGH "SILVER NUGGETS" TO OBTAIN A FULL SET OF "LADY DORIS SILVERWARE".  A NUGGET WAS GIVEN FOR EVERY 25 CENTS IN PURCHASES (CAN YOU IMAGINE A DOLLAR THAT STRONG TODAY?? I REMEMBER, IT WAS IN 1960) INSTRUCTIONS FOR REDEEMING THE BOOKLETS IS ON THE REVERSE SIDE AS WELL AS THE GUARANTEE. BOTH OF THESE BOOKLETS ARE FULL OF "SILVER NUGGETS". THESE WERE MY GRANDMOTHERS AND SHE GAVE THEM WHEN I HELPED HER MOVE BACK IN THE LATE 70'S. I NO LONGER HAVE ROOM FOR ALL THE ITEMS I'VE COLLECTED AND DISPLAYED OVER THE YEARS. THESE ARE SLIGHTLY WARPED FROM AGE AND I HAVE HAD THEM DISPLAYED IN MY LIVING ROOM AWAY FROM DIRECT LIGHT FOR OVER 20 YEARS. THEY ARE STILL IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS FOR SALE IN ALL THE PLACES I'VE LIVED AND ALL THE FLEA AND ANTIQUE MARKETS I'VE VISITED. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO BE APPROACH BY SOMEONE AT KROGER WISHING TO OBTAIN THESE FOR AN HISTORICAL COLLECTION. THESE WERE ORIGINALLY COLLECTED IN EAST CENTRAL (NEW CASTLE) INDIANA. I'LL SHIP THESE IN A BUBBLE PACK ENVELOPE VIA USPS 1ST CLASS MAIL WHEN PURCHASED ALONE. I COMBINE SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE PURCHASES.
