About This Item
Philadelphia, PA: Fenton Label Co., 120-122-124 Bread St., 228-230-232 Cherry St., [ca. 1910]. 8vo. 4 x 9 in. [36 pp (unpaginated).], printed in red & blue throughout. With over 150 assorted size label samples within. Colour-printed softcovers, Arts & Crafts cover art w/ fleur-de-lis and a stylized Staff of Caduceus in green & red on front cover, green & red lettering, borders (minor shelfwear, slight rubbing), still VG copy. First edition of this scarce Progressive Era label sample catalogue filled with varieties and motifs supplied by the Fenton Label Co. Fenton gummed labels touted that they had no curling of edges, tearing, or peeling off, and that the numberless Label and Seal designs made Fenton Labels & Seals famous. Some of the sample labels for such identifiable businesses as the Milwaukee Hotel in Whitefish, Montana with Cooney Huebschman as owner, O.P. Norman Barber Supplies in Bellingham, WA, along with the Chandler Phonograph Co. Talking Machine & Records label all date this catalogue from 1906-1910. No copies with this collation, or company address in Worldcat.
