They were still around in the 50s, it was the brand my mother used, and 
I have their "quick dissolving sugar" jingle running thru my brain but I 
never knew all of the words.  I had started writing the reply thinking 
that I remembered a Baby Rose Marie recording in the Library of Congress 
on a Jack Frost program, but it was probably Jack Arthur.  I have a 
picture of the disc on my microfilms, but I'm not checking.  When I 
realized my mistake I looked in the Hickerson guide anyway.  Have any of 
these shown up?  He doesn't list any.  People would kill for an Ormandy 
program.
