1935 DENNISON'S HALLOWE'EN PARTIES BOOK / DECORATIONS FAVORS GAMES & STUNTS

This issue was the end of the line for Dennison’s nearly-annual Halloween publications. The 1930s was a tough decade due to the Great Depression. I’m surprised Dennison continued issuing these through 1935. (They did not publish one for 1932.) I’ve seen a fair number of these larger-format publications from 1927 on. Their issues from 1931 and 1933-5 seem to be especially hard to find in decent shape. This example up for auction may be in the best condition I’ve seen in many years. Most are folded, missing pages, have loose covers and other travesties. Not this one. I’ll be following what this fetches.
