The Junior Sales Club of America was a
greeting card company, founded in 1953,
which promoted its products by
motivating kids to sell boxed
assortments of cards in exchange for
money and prizes. Young entrepreneurs
who sold enough cards could win
exciting prizes, such as a Daisy Eagle
Air Rifle, a record player, or even a
Mickey Mantle baseball glove. Ads were
commonly found in a number of comic
books, and Boys' Life magazine.
There are four issues of Boys' Life
Magazine in 1957 which have a JSCA - Junior Sales Club of America ad
featuring Mickey Mantle. The
first, a two page ad in the January
issue featuring a comic strip at the
top; "Mickey Mantle Goes To Bat For
Billy Bikeless." Billy is in need of a
bike, and Mickey Mantle tells him about
the Junior Sales Club Of America, and
weeks later... Billy has a new bike.
The one page ad (pictured above) from the February 1957 issue of Boys'
Life, features a comic strip at the
top; "Mickey Mantle Goes To Bat For
Dick Butterfingers" Dick makes an error
and needs a new glove, but doesn't have
the money for one. Mantle advises him
to earn one with the Junior Sales Club
Of America. The April 1957 Boys' Life
two page ad is identical too the
January issue, but in yellow, and the
comic strip; "Mickey Mantle Goes To Bat
For The Unlucky Fishermen"
The June 1957 Boys' Life two page ad, feature coupons to enroll for a
membership of the Junior Sales Club Of
America, and get a free Baseball
Handbook. The
"1957 Baseball Handbook
and Schedules" features: Major and
Minor League schedules - Articles by
Phil Rizzuto and Bob Considine - Don
Larsen's perfect game - World Series
