B.L.
Fulks General Store- Latham Missouri.

office for that period of time (Right in the store) I am looking for anything

prices for anything related to the store or Post Office. Also anything from any
of my Fulks ancestors- William B Fulks (Founded California, Missouri- bank president,

Cecelia Fulks (Wilson), Helen Fulks (Hofstetter), David H Fulks, Joseph Fulks
(Joe), Donald D Fulks (Don), or Charles D Fulks (Chuck- my dad). Please contact
me if anything is available.
Richardson
Springs, California
My moms side of the family is from the Chico area in Northern California. I
collect anything from Richardson Springs, which is 10 miles north of downtown
Chico. Richardson Springs was a resort in one of the canyons in the foothills
at the northern edge of the Sacramento Valley.
Begun in the early 1900's,
the Richardson family owned and operated the resort until the 1960's when it was
sold to a Church group. YWAM (Youth with a Mission) now operates the hotel and
grounds as a retreat and summer camp.
Besides the Healthful Springs, Mineral
Baths, and other resort offerings, Richardson Springs sold bottled water and crystals
distilled from the mineral water that flows from the several springs. They also
ran a dairy for a number of years. Richardson Springs had a Post office for it's
guests. I believe that the Post office closed in 1963.
There
were two hotels. One a modest wooden structure which burned in the early
20's. The replacement hotel was a many storied structure made of brick which still
stands today. There were (and still are) many cabins and small houses that were
occupied by the guests, which included many noteables of the day, into the 1940's.
As the allure of the "Healthful Mineral Baths" wore off in post war
America, the business began to slip away.
The Icon of Richardson Springs
was the famous Indian, Chief Healthwater, who laid by a pool drinking. This trademark
was on just about everything including the resort furniture. Some of the logos
are as small as 1/2" placed on bookends, thermometers, etc. The largest were
the billboards that were placed along highways.
I
am avidly seeking any ephemera from Richardson Springs, including Souvenir items,
Milk Bottles, Water Bottles, Brochures, Crates, Furniture, or even one of the
Billboards, (at least one is still known to exist). Please contact me if you have
such material available, or know the whereabouts. AJF5577

I am actively seeking anything from Richardson Springs- Please let me know!
Soda Pop Items-
I have collected a variety of Soda Pop items since I was 10 years old.
Included is an extensive collection of Whistle Soda and Cleo Cola.
Most of the Whistle Soda and Cleo Cola items in Allan Petrettis' Soda Pop books
are either in, or from my collection. 
Always seeking Rare and Elusive "Thirsty?
just Whistle" and "Cleo Cola" advertising items.
Beware of several Whistle Soda reproductions currently floating around the market.
There are a few signs, and at least one PAM Clock. The repro PAM clock has an
elf pushing a bottle on a wheelbarrow. These were produced by an advertising
Clock dealer in Ohio, who has produced quite a number of phoney advertising
clock faces. These repro faces are put into "old" clock cases and
sold as old. This particular Whistle soda clock did not exist prior to the mid
1990's. They are always offered with the face as "Near Mint". Ever
wonder why there are no used or poor conditon Whistle clocks out there? If you
look closely, you can tell the graphics are newly made.
Whistle did have two clocks produced by PAM in the 1950's and 1960's. The older
design had the Whistle logo, flanked by two elves. One of the elves is pulling
the chain of a steam whistle, which is the letter L in the logo. I have only
seen two of these clocks in my life. One was in good condition, and one had
some flaking (I ended up with the lesser of the two) I'll have a picture up
some day.
The second Whistle Pam Clock is circa 1962. This clock is genuine and commonly
seen. It has a musical note logo in the center. 
Pam also made a round thermometer that matches this design.
The Masonite Whistle clock is also good, except that I heard someone reproduced
these as well. The original masonite clock will have a good looking period paper
label on the back.Look closely before you buy!
There are a number of reproduction Whistle items (shown as originals) in one
of the advertising collectibles books authored by B.J. Summers and sold by Collector
Books. Unfortunately, with these items in publication and showing a value, this
creates quite a bit of confusion for collectors, new and old alike. I am always
available via e-mail to verify the authenticity of what you might have.- ajf5577@aol.com

Rittgers Figures
In 1939 Lafayette Rittgers began producing a series of
Sports and Whimsical figures out of plaster and distributed to variety stores,
etc. Most pieces are marked L.L. Rittgers and a date. Rittgers Collectibles
were sold with a paper label on the bottom, which helps date the actual piece.
Rittgers studios produced novelty figures ca 1940 into the 1950's. The figures
are colorfully painted. There are also Wall Plaques and Props with the same
theme produced by Rittgers. Paper Labels can say "Distributed by Rittgers,
Rittgers & Suttle or Suttle & Asmus".
I am actively seeking Rittgers figures
