The Story of Western Publishing - Tom Ray's Pop-Culture Roadshow March 26, 2020



Check out all the fun stuff I have at my eBay store https://ebay.to/2vMYStC

Okay! This is another one of my pop culture roadshow things where I look at some of the toys and collectibles that I have and try to learn a little something about them.

This one actually connects to a lot of the previous ones that I've done with a common element. What I noticed was, I have a lot of books I have a lot of puzzles I have a lot of games and one thing keeps popping up on them and it's this Whitman publishing company Racine, Wisconsin.
