French collector Serge Plumecocq did some research on this company and reports the following interesting information.
Chocolaterie Junon is a Belgian brand. The brand was created in 1914. The factory was built in 1919 in Verviers. The firm gives symbolic names of the 1914-18 war to its products: "unity is strength" "the triumphal return" "chocolate of the avenger" "chocolate of the Vindictive" (from the name of a cruiser scuttled in front of Ostend) !!! Now why give the name of the Queen of Olympus to a brand of chocolate? It ceased its activities in 1935-36 following unfortunate attempts to replace cocoa butter with "coconut" butter, which gave a rancid taste to the chocolate...
Date info: Looking at the pairs of stars pictured together yields the following information. Joan Crawford and John Gilbert are pictured from the 1928 film "Four Walls." Ralph Forbes and Dolores Del Rio are pictured from the 1928 film "The Trail of '98." Richard Arlen and Rosita Moreno are pictured from the 1930 film "The Santa Fe Trail." There are 4 picture albums, only one of which is dedicated to film stars. The film album is entitled "Cine-Artists Junon" and contains 100 photos. The "Cine Artist" brand was created in 1931.
Thanks to Richard Minns and Serge Plumecocq for providing the information for this checklist.
