Looks like Ready Kilowatt on the right. Haven't seen much of him in a while.

On a hymnal? (Scratching head in puzzlement)

Book covers are to protect books. Makes perfect sense to me. But, then again, it's me.

I agree. They used whatever they had to protect the hymnal

I was thinking book covers are to reveal what's inside. But then ... that's me, lol.

I so old I remember sitting in church with my grandmother where there was no AC. A local funeral home donated had held paddle fans for members and visitors to use to stay cooler in the heat of the summer. Early 1950's. The fans did have a religious picture on one side and the name of the funeral home on the other.

That was always the first assignment of the school year, covering text books. We sometimes had store bought covers but usually it was grocery bags. (In this part of the world it was Schwegmann's bags. They were like a local Walmart but in the 60's through the 90's.)
