Notes: These cards were found on boxes of Fab cleaner. These cards showed TV stars that were featured on programs that were sponsored by Colgate, the company that made Fab cleaner. They were designed to be cut off the boxes. They came in two sizes - 5-5/8" X 7-1/2" on the regular size box or 7-1/4" X 9-7/8" on the economy size box.
Date info: According to Ken Bush, Bess Myerson and Randy Merriman co-hosted "The Big Payoff" TV program from December 1951 until 1957. "Strike it Rich" was from 1950 until January 1955 so the cards were probably issued between 1952 and 1954.
