Title
"And then, the lover sighing like furnace." [graphic].
Publisher
New York : Chas. Shields' Sons, 20 & 22 Gold St
Publisher
N.Y. New York. 1880
Date
[ca. 1880]
Physical Description
1 print : chromolithograph ; 13 x 8 cm. (5 x 3 in.)
Description
Illustrated trade card depicting a man shaving in a bedroom in front of a bureau and a mirror with Dobbins' Electric Soap. Also shows a pair of pants hanging on the wall and a partial view of a bed. I.L. Cragin & Co. was formed in 1869 by Isaiah L. Cragin, his son Charles I. Cragin, and a Mr. Westcott and succeeded by Dobbins Soap M'f'g Co. ca. 1890.
Notes
Contains a quote from Shakespeare's "As You Like It" and advertising text printed on verso: "And then, the lover; sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad made to his mistress' eye-brow; (continued on card No. 4)." The purchase by you of seven bars of Dobbins' Electric Soap, at one time, of any grocer, will secure for you gratis, this set of seven beautiful cards. Grocers certificate must by sent to us, as no grocers have the cards. If not above being taught by a man, use Dobbins' electric soap next wash day. No wash boiler, no rubbing board, no house full of steam, no trouble, no ill-temper. It will positively not injure the finest fabris, has been before the public for 15 years, on its own merits as the best soap in the world, and its sale doubles each year. Ask your grocer for it. I. L. Cragin & Co., 116 South 4th Street, Philadelphia, Chas. Shields' Sons, 20 & 22 Gold St., N.Y.
