It is a connection between Mandrake's Magic Club and the "Mandrake the Magician" radio serial from 1940-1942. Taystee Bread, the sponsor for the radio serial had a similar club, but the logo and name are different. It is also a time gap between the "Taystee Bread" club in 1941 and "Mandrake's Magic Club" from 1948. From May 1947 WCRS in Greenwood South Carolina aired a Mandrake radio serial sponsored by Diximaid Ice Cream, and and may have been the firm behind the Mandrake's Magic Club. It is unknown if the radio serial was a replay of the original serial and if it still was aired in 1948.
