There are 16 issues of this newsletter, ranging from Volume 1, Number 4 to Volume 5, Number 3. The magazine appears to have been published roughly bi-monthly. Many issues are missing. The newsletter was UK-based and therefore focused on the Willesden site. Topics covered include the construction of the new factories in 1963; Chesebrough-Pond's products; staff announcements regarding weddings, births, illnesses, deaths, new employees, and retirements; staff day-trips to Southend, Blackpool, the Isle of Wight, and Boulogne; members of the Quarter Century Club (workers who have served for at least 25 years); annual dances; and changes to working conditions and pensions. Volume 2, Number 5 (September 1964) features the opening on the new main factory in Willesden, and also gives a brief history of the Chesebrough-Pond's company and of the Willesden site.

Archival history
This material appears to have been accumulated by Viv Lavis during the final months of the Willesden Chesebrough-Pond's site, before its closure. She then displayed the material in a museum in the factory during its final months (see December 1989 issue of LinkLine, Ref Code CBP/1/5). Viv Lavis was an Administrative Assistant in the Personnel Department, and also a "Willesden-based roving reporter" for the company's Open Line magazine.
