Physical Description
2 prints: chromolithograph; 13 x 9 cm. (5 x 3.5 in.)
Description
Trade card issued during the Columbian Exposition of 1893 advertising Enterprise Mf'g Co. of Pa. "Fruit, Wine and Jelly Press." Contains anachronistic, historical scenes including caricaturized American Revolution-era figures. To the left, a soldier charges. To the right, the soldier hugs a woman as she crushes grapes in the Enterprise fruit press. A grape vine divides the view. Also contains a view of the Government Building designed by W.J. Edbrooke. The exposition held in Chicago May 1-October 30, 1898 celebrated the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the New World in 1492. Enterprise Manufacturing Co. of Pa. was established in 1866.
Notes
Contains advertising text printed on verso detailing "Enterprise Fruit, Wine and Jelly Press, Tinned." Text promotes the ease of operation and invaluableness of the press in "making Wines, Jellies and Fruit-Butters"; its efficiency in pressing lard "in less time than any other press of its size and price"; and usefulness for "extracting the juice from beef in preparing beef tea for invalids." Text also explicates "The Press is not intended for making cider"; promotes the stronger, heavier "Drug Press" as a "valuable aid" for druggists in "making Decoctions, Infusions, Syrups, etc."; and prices ($3-$25).
Printed on verso: For Sale by the Hardware Trade. Send for Catalogue. The Enterprise M'f'g Co. of Pa., Third & Dauphin Sts., Philadelphia, U.S.A.
Typeface on verso varies between prints.
Vignette illustration on verso. Depicts a hand churning the handle of a fruit press making juice.
