In my continuous search of the Internet for items related to Ephemera, I ran across a blog today by a lady named Cindy who lives in beautiful central Virginia. Her blog primarily focuses on Crafts, but that takes her, it would appear, into numerous thrift shops.
In her most recent blog she talks about having wandered into a local Goodwill store and found a number of items of Ephemera… including this billhead from the National Biscuit Company in 1913 and a later one dated 1931, also from National Biscuit Company.. who by then had adopted the name Uneeda… and updated its logo. The script on the invoice is what caught Cindy’s attention. What caught mine was the transformation of the logo from reading Inner Seal… to Uneeda.. and now to a diagonal ellipse with a series of antenna-like lines protruding from the top. It is today known as the “Nabisco Orb”, and can be seen imprinted on Oreo wafers in addition to Nabisco product boxes and literature. It has been claimed in company promotional material to be an early European symbol for quality. 
While I would not say that her blog is Ephemera related (rather it’s craft related) she does occasionally run across items of interest to the world of Ephemera. I’d suggest you pay her site a visit now and again.
Perhaps the line on her blog that caught my attention the most was this one…

Tom,
Thanks for the shout out! There were a lot more biscuit related items, but I loved the bills. The script is lovely!
Thanks for stopping by. Next week, I will be posting some images from a 1954 Ideal Valentine book I found at the Goodwill today. Lovely images.
