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...

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.
