A Halloween Ink-Link

I found this company newsletter for American-Associated Insurance Companies.  It's called the "Ink-Link" and is dated October 1952.

The pumpkin pin-up pulchritude is a young lass of 20 named "Bonnie Masters" and was a secretary for one of the agency's Supervisors.  It appears she stepped in in lieu of their previous Valentine Queen who now found herself betrothed and whisked away.


I couldn't resist Googling her and was sorry to find she had passed in 2011 at the age of 79.

The newsletter also contained a surprisingly detailed story of the origins of Halloween.


The page that continued the article also contained a humorous advice column for Bridegrooms and Brides that would not serve well these days.


I couldn't find any information on American-Associated Insurance Companies. There is an Associated Insurance Company that was founded in 1923 and is still in business, but I'm not sure if they are related.
