Eunice King's Kitchen is still in business in Sherman, TX. I visited the factory recently and spoke to a company rep that stil remembered that the Fruit Cake, Pound Cake and assorted Nut Rolls were a mainstay of the company in the 60s through the 80s. They lost the contract in 83 when MREs were brought out.
They still manufacture the fruit cake and it is marketed as Texas Yahoo Cake. I used to trade for the fruit cake because it was the only thing a homesick Texan could identify truly as being from home. The fruit cake was fine if you placed it on an exhaust manifold of a running 10 KW generator. Really good if you added the peaches.
