I found one Scrooge story, just a few months earlier:

W OS  353-04   6                    BMo     US
[desc:The missing dollar] [xapp:US,GL,GD] [ser:Album]

(DD Album Four Color 353, dated November 1951, 6 pages, art Moore, featuring
Scrooge, Gladstone and Grandma.)


The Fishing Contest story was in Donald Duck Four Color 379, dated March
1952.

As far as we know, the first non-Barks story with Gladstone in WDC is in
1961 (WDC 247)!
