I can testify from personal experience *ahem* that "Trick or Treat for UNICEF" has been around since the late 1960's. That counts as a fund-raiser and I think the UN was better accounted back then (literally by accountants), but I was such an innocent child - how would I know?

Hey, those were real silver dimes, boy! Just get a few milk cartons full and wait for the hike in silver value after the dropping of the Gold standard and Silver standard and let inflation do the rest!
. . . . . And the candy was better back then, too, by golly! Real candy cigarettes in a real fake package like Marlboro and Kent and all. Did I mention the really, really neat halloween whistles for a nickel made out of wax? (It was real wax too back on the wax standard!) (And they were real, METAL nickels too NOT the crummy wooden kind!) ![]()

![]() There's a store a few blocks away that still stocks ye olde wax juice bottles and other generic versions of vintage candy, or whatever you want to call it. Actually it's CVS, but I haven't seen those things anywhere else. They're good, but too bad kiddie trick-or-treaters wouldn't appreciate them. We gave them out as party favors at my great aunt's 60th birthday bash, and someone managed to bring a bunch of those candy cigarettes too.
