Susan,
According to library cataloging records, the full title is:
43,000 years of public service: a roster of product-identifying names used by the American public for 50 consecutive years or more.
The notes indicate that it consists of two lists, one arranged "chronologically by year of origin" and another "alphabetically by brand name."
20 libraries are shown as owners; I can send you the list of locations off-list if you would like.

Histarchers,
For several years I have been attempting to find the following reference:

Brand Names Foundation
1947    43,000 Years of Public Service.  Brand Names Foundation, NY.

The on line Library of Congress catalog does not list it.  Does anyone know
where this thing physically exists?  What does it consist of?

Thank you,
Susan Walter
