Good Old Days

Stories & photos contributed by readers. Launched in 1964, Good Old Days is the original nostalgia magazine, featuring reader-provided stories and recollections from days gone by. It continues to enjoy a wide audience. Good Old Days is an Annie's publication. Annie's products -- including magazines, books, kits and supplies, online classes and TV programming -- are targeted to home and family interests, including crafts, nostalgia and home décor. It is part of the third-generation Muselman family business based in Berne, Ind., near Fort Wayne. The business began in 1925 with the founding of Economy Printing Concern. EP Graphics, as it is known today, is still owned by the Muselman family.
