I have some old WWII - era magazines, e.g. _Life_, etc., and there are
several full -page ads for Limburger made by Kraft and also IIRC Borden. It
was apparently very popular at that time, I wonder why it's popularity
declined?

I also have some WWII recipe booklets that tout Limburger as an ingredient
in spreads for canapes and such...
