- Aimed at young Catholics and published by George A. Pflaum, Treasure Chest was not distributed on newsstands. Rather, it was sold by subscription only and distributed directly to parochial school classrooms. The publication contained a wide range of features, by no means limited to religious topics. Inspirational biographies of saints appeared alongside those of sports heroes, for instance, as did Funny Animal humor strips, literary adaptations, and other stories.

* Chuck White: Stories about the son of a mixed marriage (Catholic and Protestant) dealing with contemporary issues. This feature ran in every single issue of the series.
* The Champ: Stories about Frumson Wooters, a fat kid who nevertheless always triumphs over adversity.
* This Godless Communism: A memorable if short running feature (1961-1962) that presented a hypothetical Communist takeover of the United States, with particular focus on Communism's repression of religion. The 1946-1963 issues of Treasure Chest have fallen into the public domain. The Catholic University of America has an online archive of this material here.
