Description
Three color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for their Canned Dog Food. The ad has a picture of a butcher who is trying to get a pack of dogs to leave the front of his Meat Store. He has taken a can of Gaines Dog Food and attached it to the end of a long pole. The dogs are running after this can, still closed, rather than show interest in the steaks and hot dogs that are hanging in his store window. The ad headline, which is pointing to the can at the end of the Butcher’s pole, identifies “The first canned dog food good enough to be labeled Gaines is here”. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
