From 1957 through the1960s, CM. C.
Popper & Co. published a set of twelve
"Finer Points Of Baseball"
instructional books, which provided
advertising on the back for their
clients. For the most part early books were used as a
premium for meat companies, giving them
away, inserted into packages of
hotdogs, such as; White seal Franks, Neuhoff's Frankfurters, Essem Hotdogs, and Hygrade's
Wieners. Other ads that show up are Keds Shoes,
Reed Candy Company, Fleet Wing
Gasoline and Stop & Shop
Supermarkets.
By the 1960s, an array of advertisers began
using the baseball books, including; local
banks, and car dealerships, Mr. Softee, Baseball on NBC TV/DX Oil, Sealtest Foods, All Star
Dairies,
International Harvester, Weaver
Potato Chip Co.,
Country Kitchen Restaurants,
Hood Ice Cream, Horn & Hardart
Automats, Holland Popsicle, and Manny's
Baseball Land, located across from
Yankee Stadium.
There are books that do not have an ad
on the back.
The front illustrates a baseball on
nine covers with "How To" play a
position; with an accompanying
illustration for that position, and
reads "Hints For Little, Junior, Midget, and Babe Ruth players"
at the bottom.
Copyrights run from 1957 through 1966. Some books were issued by Vital
Publications in the mid '60s.
