Rusine's Easter Ad – March 28, 1953

While many of us grew up looking forward to lots of Faroh's Candies in our Easter baskets, there's another brand that's been synonymous with the holiday: Russell Stover. The individually wrapped candies were always well-represented in our baskets.

One of the stores that carried the Russell Stover line of sweets was Rusine's, at 822 Broadway. According to the ad above, which ran in the Journal on March 28, 1953, apparently there was some sort of exclusive arrangement.

Anyway, Rusine's has been a recurring topic on this blog, with several posts devoted to the store.
