B.L.
Fulks General Store- Latham Missouri. My grandfather
ran a store in Latham, Mo from the teens through the early 1960's. There must

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,

in line. His wife was Sabry Mae Hull) or any of my uncles and aunts- Harry B Fulks,
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 Sod Pop items since I was 10 years old. Included
is an extensive collection of Whistle Soda and Cleo Cola and
am still looking for very difficult or elusive items.
Most of the Whistle Soda and Cleo Cola items in Allan Petrettis' Soda Pop books
are either in, or from my collection.
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 late
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 a clock produced by PAM in the 1950's. This 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 Masonite Whsitle clock is also good, except that I heard someone reproduced
these as well. Look closely before you buy!
There are a number of reproduction Whistle items (shown as originals) in the
advertising book 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

World War 2.

magazine ads, please).

Before the minor "Crash" of Soda Pop collecting, I built a nice collection
of Soda Pop embossed picnic coolers. The are over 200 different coolers in the
collection. These are just sitting patiently waiting for the next resurgence
of soda collecting, or the next time I need some money, whichever comes first.
I am not actively seeking any coolers at this time, unless one from Whistle
Soda or Cleo Cola pops up.
Starr and Starr X Bottle Openers- I am still looking for a Coca Cola Wall Mount opener with the screw holes
on each side, instead of top and bottom. I would be interested in one of these
in good condition if available.
Steiff
Animals, Any Animals made by Steiff with the button in the ear. More Id
is better, the older the better. Condition is rewarded. Odd animals are wanted.
