- Scope and Contents
- This series is divided into eight subseries: company profiles and histories, organizational materials, articles and books about Aladdin, newspaper clippings, and miscellaneous. The company profiles and histories are arranged chronologically and include handwritten notes, typed manuscripts, and published materials. The correspondence consists of Christmas cards from Aladdin for the years 1922 and 1964 and four letters from the Icy Hot Bottle Company, 1919-1922. The books in this series cover lamps, lunch boxes, and thermoses. There are collectors guides to lunch boxes with some copies autographed by the author. The miscellaneous materials include empty binders that are embossed with the company name and copies of the "Aladdin Creed" which states: By the excellence of our products and services, we will continue to earn the loyalty of all our customers. As individuals and as a corporate citizen, we will set examples of responsibility in world-wide communities. We will strive to provide our employees with an opportunity for growth, self-fulfillment and career satisfaction. We will faithfully meet our obligations to our stockholders by fully discharging the trust they have always so confidently placed in us.
