    • Probably this set missed the 1945 Christmas gift season, awaiting establishment of its book publishing subsidiary Keep-Worthy Books by The Parents' Institute. Automated search of Parents' Magazine returns no hit for the publisher prior to 1946-01, where its street address 52 Vanderbilt Avenue matches that of The Parents' Institute in earlier advertisements of this series, and on some series title pages viewed online.
