ROAD HOG!

I just acquired this card on eBay. It was sent from Downers Grove 70 years ago. Both sides of the card say something about the time, 1943.

Hardly anybody mentions the Blue Ribbon Bakeware Company in Downers Grove anymore.

We actually use the bakeware from the Blue Ribbon Bakeware Company in Downers Grove. I know I don't have the complete set but in my mind I know that I have enough. These molds are stamped out of aluminum. I know there are expensive cast aluminum molds out there. Crate and Barrel sells them. I prefer these both because they were made in Downers Grove and because they are light and don't use a lot of material. They must be at least 50 years old now and have held up very well.
                                   This is the inside of the booklet that came with the lamb mold.
                  The famous Hearts Entwined cake pan mold. I wish the box held up as well as the mold.
