MONUMENTAL CARDBOARD ADVERTISING FOR STRAUSS BRO'S

A very early piece of cardboard advertising from Strauss Bro's Co. depicting four men being served their whiskey, probably in a local pub, with a dog at their feet and a spittoon in the corner. Framed in its original embossed metal frame, marked "Strauss Bro's Co." and "Chicago". The cardboard itself shows slight areas of bowing with a water stain in the extreme lower corner. It doesn't appear as if this cardboard sign has ever been removed from the frame and again would be enhanced with a good surface cleaning. A very early cardboard sign for a very early whiskey distiller. Condition: (8.0 - 8.5). Dimensions: Frame: 33 - 3/4" x 27 - 3/4" x 1".
