Russ Sears of Baltimore submitted this note is in response to Dave Lange's request for ads for the Treasury of Coins line of albums. Thanks.

The coin shop in Hutzler's department store in Baltimore was part of the Friedberg chain.
Attached are scans from 1961 and 1962 issues of coin price lists from Hutzler's Stamp and Coin Department. The 1961 issue includes an ad for the Whitman blue folders while the 1962 does not include either the Whitman folders or the Treasury of Coins.
Regarding the Stamp and Coin News, the issue I have from Hutzler's has a Christmas tree on the front and would, I believe, have been 1961 or 1962. The only numismatic offerings were Library of Coins albums, no Whitman or Treasury and no coins or paper money listed.
My recall is that the Treasury of Coins began in 1962. I spent a week in Gimbel's, New York in 1962 and I recall having them at that time.
