About This Item
Peoria, IL: H. G. Farrell. Advertising Agreement. Thin light blue bi-fold advertising contract from H. G. Farrell, Peoria, IL. Some browning, light edge wear and minor chipping. Paper has blind embossed stamp "Superfine London" over embossed crown in one corner. Contract is blank. Sheet measures 16 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches with two contracts per sheet and was intended to be cut into two. Printed on verso only. Contract is from the H. G. Ferrell Company intended for regional newspapers with very strict instructions as to ad placement, terms and the requirement that a copy of said paper be mailed each week to H. G. Ferrell, Peoria, Ills. The story of Farrell Arabian Liniment is well documented; two brothers forming a company in Peoria in the 1840's, falling out by 1849 with the estranged brother setting up shop in Chicago, selling, you got it, Farrell's Arabian Liniment. W. B. Farrell ended up in Chicago while H. G. Continued in Peoria. Soon ads referring to imposters and fakes began to appear as the brotherly feud deepened. These sheets are not dated other than 185__. A nice item of advertising and druggist ephemera. This item not in Byrd, although there is one H. G. Farrell item listed in Byrd. .
