Gaylord Du Bois (rhymes with "to voice") writer credit per page 91, Gaylord Du Bois's Account Books Sorted by Title compiled from the original account books by Randall W. Scott (Michigan State University Libraries 1985) 203 leaves ; 28 cm. -- Photocopy of computer printout. -- Call no.: PN6727.D77 A2S35 1985, which states: "Little Beaver's Dust-um Pan. For Red Ryder Comics #18. Sent January 16, 1949." Du Bois's issue numbering here continues from his previous entry (it's first appearance), and continues in his next entry (the series' final Little Beaver text story).
The artist is very likely Bill Ely, who made The Kiyotee Kids story, with an abundance of wrinkles and lines in the clothing. Art ID by Steinar Ådland January 2011.
