In 1957
C. Carey Cloud created a 10 Standing
Musical Whistles for
Cracker Jack. The
ten different whistles are an accordion, a banjo,
a bugle, a cornet, a french horn, a saxophone, scales, a trombone, a ukulele, and a violin.
The Standing Musical Whistles measure ¼" wide, and 1" high,
and come in red, green, and blue. Rumor has it that a few yellow whistles are floating about.
There was a newspaper article written about these whistles, and it's inventor. Because
C. Carey Cloud was born near Whistleville Indiana, the article was
cleverly
titled
Whistleville Man Invents a Whistle, a couple of excerpts are below.
The man from Whistleville who dreams up those toys in crackerjack
boxes now has invented the world's first all plastic whistle.

"They don't have an ear-piercing screech and in fact the tone is
rather pleasing," he says, consoling mamas and papas disturbed by
other toy whistles.

He also created
Razz Zooka the
Embossed Paper Whistles and the
Four Tone Plastic Flute Whistles
