Betsy Burry - Burry Day 4
Who is that little girl with the golden hair? It is Betsy Burry. This cute little girl promoted Burry Cookies in print ads and even appeared on the front and back of Hoopty-Dos, a Scooter Pie type confection.

Howdy & Hoppy - Burry Day 3
Burry jumped into the licensed character game in the 1950's with Howdy Doody cookies and Hopalong Cassidy cookies. These beautiful full color boxes helped promote the TV shows and were part of an avalanche of products marketed to kids during this period.

Simple Simon - Burry Day 2
Say hello to Simple Simon. SImon was the character that Burry used in the 1940's to promote their line of baking mixes. He is somewhat creepy and in a 1947 ad shows how he is ready to insinuate himself into a couples new marriage.....
For the kiddies, Burry produced a Mother Goose Party Package. The premium is pretty generic but the always leering Simple Simon gives it a nice edge.

Burry Cookies - Day 1
Some of my fondest childhood food memories were for Burry cookies. So I thought for the next 2 weeks, I would dig out all my Burry items and showcase them here on the blog.
First up is this fairly boring cookie jar. The side says "Burry Cookie Jar Cookies. This leads me to believe that it sold in store filled with cookies. Unfortunately the cookies are all long gone.
