Thanks for sharing! Enjoyed looking at some of the early Maple Digest's. Quoted in 1974 by Adin Reynolds......."makers that were ready and caught the February run did well"...in the Wisconsin section anyway. Looks like there were early years 40 plus years ago and that coming from the worlds largest producer at one time in history.
