          ALIVE AND WEALTHY!

    All that hype about killing off Mr.
Peanut during the Super Bowl has, it
seems, had an interesting result.
     Before it ever aired people who
remembered the iconic symbol of
Planter's Peanuts were up in arms
over what seemed to be his demise.
     That was especially true around
these parts where both the company
and the character were born.
      Low and behold the same short
series of commercials climaxed with
Mr. Peanut's resurrection in the form
of a "baby Peanut Man" assuring the
future of the beloved image.
       But all the talk has apparently
done even more! All of a sudden Mr.
Peanut is actually in demand once
again!
        At an auction in Berwick
Saturday night a few Mr. Peanut items
were selling at premium prices. In fact
a small Mr, Peanut statuette sold for
over one hundred and forty dollars!
The company produced a lot of
novelty items over the years!
           Makes you wish you had kept
a few of those advertising items they
 handed out or sold way back when!
           I never concentrated on those
gimmicks. I liked the peanuts and I
can assure you none of them lasted
more than a day or two at most!
            Hope Mr. Peanut, and his
products,stick around for a long
time and that all your NEWS is
good!
