NOTES:

In April of 1939, Karl McCready won the title of the "Typical American Boy." Selected by a committee of judges headed by Dale Carnegie, Karl was in competition with 25,000 other boys, and received a lifetime contract to be "Popsicle Pete," a living Trademark. Popsicle Pete was introduced on the radio program Buck Rogers in the 25th Century as having won the "Typical American Boy Contest." The character told listeners that they could win presents by sending wrappers from Popsicle products to the manufacturer. Pete continued to appear in the company's advertising campaigns for over 50 years.

In 1948, Bob Feller teamed up with "Popsicle Pete," appearing on nationwide radio broadcasts reaching a total listening audience of more than 32 million, telling the story of Popsicle's fight to curb juvenile delinquency. That same year the Popsicle Pete trademark logo used on the glove was changed, with Pete now wearing a marching band leader uniform. Feller also helped promote the Popsicle Pete premiums that were offered in the prize catalog.
