"COUNTER" CARDS
MERCHANT-SPECIFIC
Size: 5"
x 6-5/8" (possibly
trimmed)
Date: Undated
Lithographer: Unidentified
  

NOTE: This "card" is actually
printed
on a heavy paper stock, rather than a true card stock. I don't know
whether this is one of the "handsome pictures" that Arbuckles' often
promoted as being given out with purchases of their coffee, but it
certainly appears that the imprint on the back was supplied by the
merchant handing it out, B. F. WEIKEL, of
Spring City, Pennsylvania. I'm not aware of any other Arbuckles'-produced advertising
that used the company name without an apostrophe either
before or after the "S" (i.e., either Arbuckles' or Arbuckle's).
