Ok, after looking closer, I now can see the print at the bottom of the cards. "Olson Publishing" and "Spic and Span Dry Cleaning." Now, after all these years, I realize the latter was actually a local business that had nothing to do with the nationally distributed cleaning powder. And it appears that Olson was just putting the names of different companies on the cards, like the dry cleaners and Wisco? Interesting.

Glen -
According to Baseball-Reference.com, Robert J. Wakefield did in fact play for the Bears in 1953. Judging by the info on the card's reverse I'd agree that it's probably from a 1953 Denver Bears Team Issue. http://www.baseball-reference.com/mi...d=wakefi001rob Last edited by NewEnglandBaseBallist; 02-11-2012 at 05:05 PM.

I do know Spic and Spans were also distributed at the dry cleaner's store in my home town, Fond du Lac, 60 miles north of Milwaukee in the mid-late 1950s.
