3-layer Fruit Cocktail Cake image

My niece, Stephanie, took some of the recipes out of my mother's recipe drawer, too, and she is sharing them to put in our family recipe book!! This is one Mom got from a co-worker at "Old King Cole Division" the plastics plant where she worked in the 70's. This is not really a layer cake, but it does have two layers of toppings...
