Artifact Overview

While Halloween's origins were rooted in superstition and fortune telling, by the 1910s, Americans of all ages celebrated the holiday as a night of innocent fun. The Dennison Manufacturing Co. of Framingham, Massachusetts, published Halloween "Bogie" books from 1912 to 1935. Halloween revelers could find an array of ideas for party activities, costumes, and decorations using the company's paper products.
