I was putting away everything Christmas today including the old balls that had been handed down to me from my parents & grandparents. The original boxes were priced at 69c. for the small ones & 99c. for the large. Before replacing the lids, I decided to open up & read the folded newspapers that lined the top of the old boxes of balls. The purpose for using the papers was to create a surface to line the cardboard top to replace the cellophane that had ripped apart long ago. Attached are those Washington Post newspapers. The headline for President Kennedy was was in Dec. of 1962. The front page on Jan. 2, 1973 is of President Nixon with George Allen. I split that page in half, first the top followed by the bottom. Undated are the remaining pages of advertisements for D.C. area stores long gone.
