Read the article... hmmm... a good example of why one can't believe everything one reads on the Internet. Mead's Peechee's are still being manufactured and one can buy them where large selections of school supplies are sold. They come in a few different styles and colors now too. Here is one spot you can get them: http://www.innisbrook.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?DID=7&Product_ID=922&CATID=52
Actually, Mead no longer manufactures the Pee Chee folder, but some are still available as leftover stock from previous years. Please visit: http://www.mead.com.

The first photo, showing writing practice, is from the early 1930's, give or take a few years, not the 50's. The hair and clothing styles are uniquely characteristic of that period. The 50's weren't QUITE that quaint.
The author is wrong about Peechee's

Fig. 1 Dating
I highly doubt the Figure 1 photo is from the 1950s. It looks like 1920s or 30s.
