Dedham Tales

Happy Halloween!

This is a Halloween card from the late 50s/early 60s manufactured by Rust Craft Greeting Card Company which operated in Dedham from 1955-1981. I love the mid-century graphics and colors; reminds me of the Fractured Fairytales cartoons I used to watch. The later versions of their cards from the 70s-80s were, in my opinion, bland and uninteresting.

       Thanks. Maybe that’s the one l was thinking of. Grew up off of Bridge street. Arlington rd actually. From December 1959 till July of 67. Went all 6 years at Riverdale. 1 year of jr high when class was held at the high school due to remodel happening at the jr high. Great place to grow up!
