| Issued by the Weber Baking Company of Irvington New Jersey, as a premium advertising their Onist Milk and Pullman Bread. It is one from a series of 48 cards entitled, "Famous Men". Burdick list the series as D117 in his American Card Catalogue. Unfortunately he does not provide a date of issue. I have always assumed that they were issued sometime during the 1920-30's, but that is just speculation on my part. The front of the card uses identical images that the American Tobacco Company used in its 1910 ROYAL BENGALS Cigarettes Heroes of History series that Burdick listed as series T68 in his American Card Catalogue. It features a colorful portrait of one of the various Heroes of History from the series. The back of the card mentions that cards would be packed with the product for the next two months. | ||
