<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">Not long ago, in the era of the one-room rural school house, it was not unusual for farm animals to be close neighbors. It was fortunate for the teacher that it was a lamb that followed Mary to school. There were other possibilities!</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Mary had a little lamb,</span></i></b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">His fleece was white as snow,</span></i></b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">And everywhere that Mary went,</span></i></b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">The lamb was sure to go.</span></i></b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">
He followed her to school one day,</span></i></b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Which was against the rule,</span></i></b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">It made the children laugh and play</span></i></b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">To see a lamb at school.</span></i></b></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">But still it lingered near,</span></i></b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">And waited patiently about,</span></i></b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Till Mary did appear.</span></i></b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;"><b><i>An American nursery rhyme, “Mary Had a Little Lamb” is one of the few
with a fairly clear, and innocuous, origin. The poem is attributed to
Sarah Josepha Hale, and sprang from an incident in which a young girl
named Mary Sawyer took her pet lamb to school. Mary later recalled being
shown the poem by John Roulstone, a young man preparing for seminary
who was visiting the school the morning of the lamb’s appearance. Though
he was amused by the lamb’s presence and returned to show Mary the poem
inspired by it, it’s believed that Hale wrote most or all of the poem.</i></b></span> </span></span></div>

<i><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><b>ATLANTA</b> Thirty five years ago a writer of local history said Blood's a hamlet is a station on the railroad one mile from North Cohocton. It is named from Calvin Blood.</span></span></span></span></span></i></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">This is rendered an important station on the railroad from its connection with the Canandaigua Lake route. A daily line of stages runs to Naples at the head of the lake and a steamer plies daily between the latter place and Canandaigua.</span></span></span></span></span></i></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">A still later writer describes Blood's Station as a thriving little hamlet on the railway and point of departure for the stage route to Naples and Canandaigua and further says a post oftice was established at Blood's April 21 1871 through the instrumentality of Asa Adams who was the first postmaster. From this we may correctly infer that the residents of this locality were compelled to repair to the north hamlet for their mail previous to 1871 when the post office was located at Blood's.</span></span></span></span></span></i></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">However, long before this the hamlet was one of the recognized centers of the town and one of importance in various directions. But from these elements there has grown a thriving village and in the course of time in fact at a quite recent date the old name of Blood's or Blood's Station was discontinued and in its stead the more euphonious designation of Atlanta was adopted. </span></span></span></span></span></i></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">The railroad and the diverging stage route to Naples gave Atlanta an importance forty years ago and from that time to the present there has been no retrograde movement...</span></span></span></span></span></i></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">Today [1896] the hamlet stands prominent among the several villages of the town. However a disaster came to local interests during the month of September 1895 and by it several large buildings were burned to the ground. The principal sufferers from this fire were John Dunn, H V Hatch, LD Hodgman, LR Partridge, Henry Clark and TJ Cornish.</span></span></span></span></span></i></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">The business interests of Atlanta at the present time are represented substantially as follows: DC Borden, TJ Cornish and JC Whitmore, grocers, J Radish drugs, WE Waite hardware, Wheaton & Wells meat market, G Kesler and Frank Davy blacksmiths, John Spencer and Byron Hayes feed mills, F Parks clothing, John Langdon and John Dunn hotel keepers.</span></span></span></span></span></i></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><i>The Free Methodist church of the town is located in this village and in the matter of schools there is an association with North Cohocton in a union free school and district. The school house is located between the villages convenient to both.</i> </span></span></span></span></span></h2>

Finding the addresses above on Google Maps is challenging. "West" 4th St. in Pottsville seems to have vanished. Only North and South 4th streets exist. In Hutchinson, there is an E. 9th <i>Avenue, </i>a typical neighborhood mix of single family homes and duplexes, but there is no E. 9th <i>Street</i>.</div>

<b>Immaturity</b> has a lot to recommend it if the symptoms of maturity are "<i>nervousness, irritability, increased desire to sleep and slowness of thought!</i>" Lydia Pinkham wrote this publication for a female audience. Her observations are gender specific. How she views her role in society is clear throughout her booklet. Pinkham's role as a female proprietor, however, was exceptional. </div>

How many women in the 21st agree with Pinkham's observation that "<i><b>the injurious effect of hard or heavy work on a young girl cannot be overestimated?</b></i>" Disqualified for "hard or heavy work," what was left for women to do? Make sandwiches, for one!</div>

Avoiding unsympathetic doctors and painful hospital visits was a powerful argument for use of Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. While the Compound was essentially worthless as a cure for anything itself, the alternative was to put oneself at the mercy of male doctors who had no personal experience with menstruation or other "female complaints." Although they <i>did </i>have lots of opinions!</div>

It is interesting to note Lydia Pinkham's admission above that "<b>Testimonial Letters are often challenged as to their truth and genuineness.</b>" Presumably the challenges came from folks who had tried the product and not gotten better.</div>

In 2017, although we need to be on our guard against self-promoting "scientific studies" funded by big drug companies, we do have independent testing groups such as <b><a href="http://consumersunion.org/about/">Consumers Union</a></b> which can give us unbiased information on many topics of interest to consumers. Such groups are constantly fighting against the rumor mill encouraged by the peddlers of ineffective potions (mostly "supplements") in our time.</div>

Lydia tells us "<b>Working Girls must work every day even if they do feel sick, as long as they are able to stand</b>." Not much has changed since this was written. Strong industries and unions were helpful while they lasted in the 20th century, but there remains a group of people, both men and women, who essentially work themselves to death without the benefit of sick days or proper health care even if it is available.<br />

Google Street View has not done a complete survey of populated areas in the U.S. yet, though Google cameras have been active for almost a decade.

<b>Nervousness</b>, a very gender-dependent condition it seems, was the target of many medications in the 19th century. By the 21st century, women seemed a lot less "nervous," even without the assistance of drugs to "treat" this largely imaginary condition.<br />
<br />
Equality is a long road, but as a more equitable distribution of power between genders is achieved, many diseases characteristic of social oppression are mysteriously resolved. "Nervousness," like other derogatory slurs on the female gender, needs to be seen for what it is, a creation of social, not physical, forces. We men have never been "nervous," have we?!<br />

"The Continuous Oil Refining Company opened its doors in a brick building next to the Erie Railroad tracks. [Dr. John] Ellis, along with [E.C.] Kattell, applied for and received a series of patents for the invention of a steam boiler meant to extract the oil into the finished product. Ellis called his completed lubricant Binghamton Cylinder Oil....</div>

<div class="metadata_sectionwrap">
"By 1868, Ellis saw that marketing was an important part to the growth of the Continuous Oil Refining Company. While Binghamton Cylinder Oil was a good name, it was not one that was instantly recognizable for what it did. Ellis and his partners decided that a name change might improve sales of the product. But what to call it? I am sure a number of names were proposed — maybe Oildoesit, or Thing that Makes the Machine Go. But in the end, they decided on something much simpler —<b> Valvoline</b>!"</div>

<a href="https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=48790015">Charles J. Rumsey</a> operated a hardware store in Ithaca that sold not only stoves and furnaces, but other merchandise as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In his book, <i>Ithaca and its Past: The History and Architecture of the Downtown, </i>DeWitt Historical Society of Tompkins County, 1982, Daniel R. Snodderly states that the business spanned the years 1876, when C. J. Rumsey became a partner to 1962, when it was replaced by the Outdoor Store on the Ithaca Commons.</div>

Tragedy struck the Rumsey family in 1906, when <a href="https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=48790108">John Cooper Rumsey</a>, Ithaca City fireman (Torrent Hose Co. no.5) and son of Charles J. Rumsey was killed while fighting a <a href="https://goo.gl/4tR5F8">fire at Chi Psi lodge</a>, a Cornell University fraternity. He and several colleagues were killed when the north wall of the burning building collapsed on them.</div>

<b style="color: red;">*</b> Lurking on the back of this particular card is a clue that ties this card to one of those trivial everyday events that happened to all of us living in the late 19th century. Here's the clue:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHIChk-ngKSzhjGhZeHpAQqTEMowOXf-th2oSxSLjd4XvMZXkkOxgiycQA-AEK_xfRySorFEBS2xR7XYA8Dy2raPhhiQHxQ1bUZh_IX73H5l4KbSbadz6Ru3nuZD9KCphALUQPp0Z7-IGT/s1600/winter+landscape+memories815.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="607" data-original-width="1600" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHIChk-ngKSzhjGhZeHpAQqTEMowOXf-th2oSxSLjd4XvMZXkkOxgiycQA-AEK_xfRySorFEBS2xR7XYA8Dy2raPhhiQHxQ1bUZh_IX73H5l4KbSbadz6Ru3nuZD9KCphALUQPp0Z7-IGT/s640/winter+landscape+memories815.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not long after <a href="https://goo.gl/xGpRq7">Ada Poyer</a> (1886-1980) learned how to write, she was given this valuable souvenir of her family's visit to C.J. Rumsey's store. In her best cursive, she affixed her signature to the back of the card. The card was kept as a valuable keepsake, perhaps long after she wed Edward Albert Thomas, maybe until she passed away a month after her husband in 1980.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The card may have passed through many hands after that, always being saved as an item of curiosity, if not of any particular value. In the summer of 2017 it left its temporary home in Lexington, Ohio and arrived back in the Village of Lansing, NY just outside of Ithaca, where it was added to the Earl J. Arnold Advertising Card Collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
From the 1890s, Ada Poyer says "Hello" to her descendants and reminds those of us living today that all of our activities, no matter how mundane they appear, are significant and worthy of note.</div>

According to his obituaries, he was the <b>first person in Buffalo NY to own a car (6 October 1897)</b>! In addition to the Dispensary, he was founder and president of the Pierce Glass Company, Point Allegany PA.</div>

Before the existence of terrorists and nuclear weapons people had problems with "<b>nervousness</b>." It is remarkable this ailment has disappeared from the population! Evidently, we're too dumb to be "nervous" these days!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
"<b>Worn-out, run-down, weak and diseased women</b>" apparently were also a problem in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Though it was likely they were equally "run-down" and nervous, men were seldom described this way. Remedies suggested depended upon what the merchant was selling. Drugs supposedly helped, but so did sewing machines and good washboards.</div>

Since patriarchy was strong in the late 19th century, it was common for male doctors to have "answers" for women's symptoms. Knowledge flowed from men who presumably had some of it to women, who supposedly had none--and were not encouraged to acquire any. All women had to do was listen to men.</div>

In general, doctors did not invent diseases so that cures could be sold. On the other hand, even today, despite its best efforts, the profession as a whole does not do a very efficient job of dispelling foolish notions if a profit is being made selling products or worthless procedures to "cure" them. Drug company sales representatives are often seen in the vicinity of doctor's offices.</div>

"Curing" aspects of normal human sexual experience by acquiescing to the fiction that certain widespread behaviors are "abnormal" or undesirable with supposedly horrific side effects is a very common method of generating sales and cash flow. (Worldwide, politicians also use sexual taboos to their personal advantage--while remaining free to fill their personal lives with such experiences, of course.) From Ray Vaughn Pierce's "<i><a href="https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=5lgOAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&output=reader&hl=en&pg=GBS.PA798">People's Common Sense Medical Adviser...</a></i>" comes this example:</div>

Dr. Pierce was not above raising "false hopes" in order to "secure your money." He was one of several very financially successful Victorian physicians to combine medical practice with drug manufacture and sales. His many booklets spun tall tales primarily to sell product, and only incidentally to inform, educate or heal.<br />
<br />
This deluge of advertising was slowly countered by standards of conduct promoted by the American Medical Association, U.S. Federal government regulations for drug advertising and by other sources of unbiased information as they became available to the general public. The AMA's campaign was vigorously prosecuted. Here's a quote from the Journal of the American Medical Association (as with all images on this post,<b><i> click to enlarge</i></b>):<br />

In the present time, such deceptions and "inferential falsehoods" persist. Companies interested in "securing" your money peddle drug cures directly to you as well as to your doctors, hoping to duplicate the success of those who sell faith cures using similar advertising techniques.<br />
<br />
Inferential falsehood is standard advertising practice. How often do you see wellness products hawked by spokespeople who appear old, stupid, weak or sickly and thus obviously in need of the products advertised? The inferential falsehood portrayed is that you can, merely by purchasing product, achieve the remarkable transformation from sickly middle-aged whiner to robust teenage socializer (or whatever your personal ideal might be).<br />
<br />
Beware! Our individual mortality is a common end played by all those attempting to sell us stuff, whether it be drugs or ideas. Or, as Dr. Pierce put it:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>"No matter how plausible the web of arguments woven to entrap you, be assured they are the utterance of knaves who care not what false hopes they encourage so they secure your money."</i></b></blockquote>
Did Dr. Pierce see a "knave" when he looked at himself?<br />
<br />
There is no substitute for doing the hard work of educating yourself by reading and listening widely to a variety of "facts" and points of view from multiple sources. Thinking for yourself is the best use of your time here--and will no doubt benefit your financial situation, too.<br />

Backache is not limited to women, of course. For all humans, arthritis first appears in early adulthood. Most all adults over 30 have it to varying degrees. None of us lift heavy objects properly all the time, either. So the market for backache medication is wide. Women are targeted, however, perhaps because of their assumed tendency to be more honest with themselves about their conditions. Men, fearing a perception of weakness, are more likely to "work through the pain" if they ever admit to its existence at all. Drugs of willful deception, accordingly, are marketed to males, though not generally by physicians, who are frustrated by patients who do not honestly reveal symptoms. Among drugs of deception, alcohol is most commonly used.</div>

The advice to "overworked women" is not as logic might suggest, to rest more or work less or <b><i>cease doing for others what they could just as well do for themselves</i>.</b> Just take this stuff in multiple doses and all will be well.

According to <a href="https://www.nyheritage.org/collections/nickell-collection-dr-rv-pierce-medical-artifacts"><b>NY Heritage</b></a>: "<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: yellow; text-indent: 30px;"><b>Pierce [Ray Vaughn] was a strong proponent of free enterprise, and took a lead in the fight against the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906.</b></span><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 30px;">" The <a href="http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/WhatWeDo/History/default.htm"><b>Food & Drug Administration</b></a> states the 1906 Act "</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">prohibited interstate commerce in adulterated and misbranded food and drugs."</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 30px;">In other words, Pierce was a enthusiastic supporter of Capitalism unregulated by any government, which in the American Victorian era gave free reign for merchants to fleece the general public, preying upon pervasive ignorance, fear and superstition. Was Pierce engaged in commerce with adulterated or misbranded drugs? Perhaps he thought he was.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here in the USA, since 1906 we've had a law called "The Pure Food & Drug Act" which has protected us from those who would take advantage of our ailments to sell us stuff that does nothing to cure us, but might distract us from our pain. After the Act was passed in 1906, drug companies had to list ingredients on their containers and medications that had incorporated such poisons as arsenic, lead, etc. largely disappeared from pharmacy inventories.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">While it is tempting to scoff at our ancestors as ignorant for believing in the curative powers of all sorts of weird stuff, we buy some of the same sorts of things today and are just as likely to spend money foolishly when we are frightened by our imaginations.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Drugs are now tested before they are marketed. Dietary supplements, however, are not covered by the provisions of the Act. While regulated medications are sold with disclaimers as to their possible side-effects, if you're looking to make money in 2017, you can sell all sorts of cheap, ineffective dirt for high prices by calling the stuff a "dietary supplement."</div>

So how does <b>good advertising</b> get us to buy all this junk? It <b>stimulates our imagination</b>. Even those of us who are perfectly healthy (for our age) can be motivated by the fear of sickness and death or the suggestion we might be healthier still if we just bought a little more of this or that to change our circumstances. Advertising magnifies our distrust of "experts" and "big government." It motivates us to vote based on our prejudices rather than our best interests and tells us we have no style. In short, it selectively informs.<b> Advertising lies.</b><br />

Advertising, however, has some unintended good consequences. Whether it originates with commercial or governmental sources, it <b>preserves history</b>, involuntarily recording the fears and aspirations of the populations at which the ads were targeted. Prejudices against certain types of people are faithfully reproduced. Aspirations for a better life are consistently woven into ad copy. Future generations can look back at old ads as faithful recordings of the tenor of their times. Quite by accident, that incurable liar, <b>advertising, is truthful</b>.</div>

In addition, <b>advertising media accurately reflect advances in technology</b>. As an advertiser myself, I am constantly bombarded by invitations to spend money on advertising platforms that I'm told will get my message to new audiences. Supposedly, younger generations are no longer interested in old platforms like books, newspapers, radio, TV, roadside billboards and ... you guessed it ... trade cards. Both advertisers and customers search for maximum value at minimum expense. Face it. Though we're all cheap, <b>anything "new," including new technology, grabs our attention..</b>.and our money.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Designed to be captivating, <b>advertising can be beautiful</b>. What made 19th century trade card advertising so notable was the fact folks thought it so extraordinary it was worth collecting. Take a look! I think you'll agree. The advertising cards showcased via the hashtag #bestarnoldcards from the <a href="http://arnoldtradecards.com/">Earl J. Arnold Advertising Card Collection 1885</a> are among the most colorful ads you'll see anywhere.<br />

Edwin F. Kunkel was born in Middletown PA. After training as a druggist and chemist, he opened up a drug store in Harrisburg PA. He applied for a patent on his Worm Syrup in 1874. His patent for Bitter Wine of Iron was filed not too many months later, in March of 1875. He relocated to 259 North 9th Street in Philadelphia PA in 1889.-- <span style="font-size: 12.8px; text-align: center;">From Bottle Pickers: http://www.bottlepickers.com/bottle_articles429.htm</span></div>

"Any bottle marked with the word 'bitters' or 'bitter' either in the glass [bottle] or on a paper label is called a bitters bottle. Bitters was, simply, gin mixed with herbs to make it a 'patent medicine.' In the United States, 'medicinal' bitters mixtures were sold starting in the 1860s. They were advertised as treatments for everything from bad breath to heart ailments. E.F. Kunkel of Philadelphia sold his bitters in the 1870s and 1880s. He used clear, square bottles and rectangular aqua bottles...The U.S. government passed the Pure Food and Drugs Act in 1906 to curtail the most outlandish claims of the patent-medicine marketers. But bitters continued to be sold as a health supplement for another couple of decades." -- <span style="font-size: 12.8px; text-align: center;">From: "Quirky Jugs come with Mugs by Rlph and Terry Kovel, King Features Syndicate,</span></div>

<br />
<br />
Located in Harlem "one door from 121st St." at 2225 Third Ave., the Bennett Tea House was for a time in the late 1800s the "Largest Establishment in its Line in New York." Offering the "Best Black, Mixed Japan or Eng. Teas," Bennett wanted you to know there was "no finer quality" and that they were putting all this up at "wholesale prices." Among other brews, they stocked Mandetralin Java and "Best Old Govt. Java."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My guess is that these were stock advertising trade cards later printed with the Bennett Tea House information on the back. Scrapbook glue has obscured much of the information on the back of the cards found so far, so we'll be on the lookout for more!</div>

<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><b>updated 5 October 2018</b></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Lion Coffee</b></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Some of the most beautiful trade cards designed in the late 1800s were produced by the Woolson Spice Company to advertise Lion Coffee. It appears that their beauty was not enough to perpetuate the national brand beyond the early 20th century. As detailed in the <b><a href="http://www.lioncoffee.com/lioncoffee-history/">current Lion website</a></b>, Woolson Spice Company, the owner Lion Coffee in the 1890s when it was a popular brand familiar to all, was disabled by corporate insiders to the point that Alvin Woolson was forced to abandon company assets.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jim Delano of Delano West Ltd. rescued the corporate brand from the Court of Common Pleas in Lucas County, Ohio decades later. By 1979 it was sold and distributed by the Hawaii Coffee Company out of Honolulu, Hawaii. Hawaii, by the way, is the only state in the United States where coffee trees grow well enough to support commercial operations (see <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_production_in_Hawaii">Coffee Growing in Hawaii</a></b>). To my knowledge, at this time they are not using trade cards to promote the brand.<br />

This building is now the home of <a href="http://www.sazonnyc.com/">Sazon</a>, one of the best Puerto Rican restaurants anywhere. The restaurant at this time has two other locations. Here's the description from the Sazon web site:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"After nearly 3 successful years in Midtown Manhattan,
owner of Sofrito, Angela Terranova decided it was
time to expand and begin her search for a new
location. Shortly thereafter, Sazón was born. An
exciting and unique addition to Manhattan's downtown
scene. Sazón brings authentic Puerto Rican cuisine to
the heart of Tribeca. This dual-level establishment
encompasses all the vibrancy and delectability of its
sister location but adds a downtown flavor all its
own. Open for lunch dinner and Sunday brunch: Sazón
offers its patrons a variety of ways to experience
Puerto Rican cuisine at its best. Buen Provecho!" </blockquote>

After its founding, the Eureka Silk Manufacturing Company expanded and changed hands. The history of the Company is convoluted, as it appears both several different locations as well as owners were involved over the life of the company.<br />
<br />
One of the owners was H.K.H. Silk Company (scroll down), which had a connection to M. Heminway & Sons Silk Co., publishers of this informative pamphlet on silk manufacture. At least we'll know something about silk, if not the company itself!<br />

"Words of Comfort" portrays an activity that was commonplace in the household of Earl J. Arnold. Earl and his wife Pansy would hold daily Bible readings with each other. They attended Congregational church regularly and participated in the affairs of the church. Grace was said before meals. In their time and that of their parents, this type of daily religious observance was much more common than it is now in American society.<br />

Luckily for us, during the years when Thomas Faed was painting, another artist, John Ballantyne, was making the rounds painting portraits of his contemporaries. From the collections of the <a href="https://art.nationalgalleries.org/">National Galleries of Scotland</a> comes this 1865 portrait of artist Thomas Faed in his studio made by John Ballantyne, who made portraits of several of his fellow artists:</div>

Based in Philadelphia PA, <a href="http://goo.gl/0215lz">Dr. Jayne's patent medicines</a> became widely known. Jayne's company was one of the first to publish annual almanacs to advertise its products. The following video will give you an overview of the patent medicine era, which flourished in the Civil War years and continued with abandon until the passage of the Pure Food & Drug act of 1906:</div>

I was pleased to discover the name of the artist inscribed on the back of the following card, entitled "The Morning Prayer." R.Epp turned out to be Rudolf Epp, the German artist (1834-1910) whose works included many pleasant portraits of German family life. He loved cats and included them in most of his paintings. A selection of his paintings and a brief biography can be seen on <b><a href="http://bit.ly/RudolfEpp">bit.ly/RudolfEpp</a></b></div>

With a title like that, this little gem cried out to me for special attention. So here it is, Dream Book, your own special page just for you! A PDF of this title is available at <a href="https://archive.lib.msu.edu/DMC/sliker/msuspcsbs_drpi_worldsdisp8/msuspcsbs_drpi_worldsdisp8.pdf">Michigan State University</a> (but, of course, it lacks my erudite commentary and great links!)<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dr. Pierce's target audience is clearly depicted here. Even in the twenty-first century,<br />
it is the custom in rural New York State that the women gather in the kitchen to discuss affairs<br />
(not just their own) while the men of the family gather elsewhere to watch sports on TV.<br />
This pattern of gender segregation apparently is cross-cultural and persistent. It was <a href="https://inequalitybyinteriordesign.wordpress.com/2012/03/05/gender-segregation-by-victorian-design/"><b>reflected in the design of the Victorian homes</b></a> (credit: Tristan Bridges' blog) in which many of Dr. Pierce's patients lived at the time.<br />
Of course men gossip and dream, too, but on different topics, it would seem.</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">"Weaknesses" make all of us look old, of course, not just women. Claims about crow's feet and black circles being "eradicated" are exaggerated as most claims of curative effect were by drug salesmen/physicians in the late1800s and early 1900s. This advertising lacks the "fine print" which warns us of side effects in the 21st century. At least Dr. Pierce listed the ingredients of his potions on his labels. This and their lack of alcohol or narcotics in most formulas were steps forward. Before <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_Food_and_Drug_Act"><b>1906</b></a>, you could legally put anything in a bottle and say that it cured multiple ailments, some of which were invented by the drug salesmen!<br />

Many of the pre-1906 remedies' secret recipes were later discovered to contain alcohol, even arsenic (poison) and addictive substances of all varieties. <a href="http://arnoldpostcardcollection.blogspot.com/2015/05/patent-medicine-toadstool-millionaires.html"><b>Page 35 of the Earl J.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">These dream interpretations are beginning to read like the daily horoscope. I suspect they are even less reliable. Which is a good thing. Do women who dream of drowning have happy marriages? Really?! Seems just as doubtful as the assertion that dreaming of drowning "brings happiness." So now I know why I'm a little short on the "prosperity and abundance" side of things. I have never dreamed of a cow. All of this is enough to make one "nervous." Fortunately Dr. Pierce (below) has the cure.... </td></tr>

Mrs. Daisy Roberts of Newark OH so far has not been found. From the National Museum of American History site, an image of the wrapper for <a href="http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_1298480">Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription</a> has been obtained (below). Whether any of the ingredients were of any use for curing the ailments described is questionable.

The card below has very few clues as to its origin. Glue on the back indicates it was probably part of somebody's scrapbook. It may have been a magazine clipping, but the print quality and surface damage makes it appear to be right for the late 19th or early 20th century. The identity of the lady portrayed is unknown as of this writing.<br />
