Supplemental Information
: I could not find an exhibit location for them in either the "The Official Directory" or "The Official Catalog" of exhibitors, so I think this was one of numerous companies that rode the popularity of the WCE but did not participate except to support it with many ads.
Dayton Spice's
main roast was
"Jersey Brand Coffee"
which was a local Ohio and national staple from 1885. I have sold other Jersey Coffee ads in the past (1 B&W WCE example shown).
- Condition:
Excellent:
Cover color print fine (shown). Color graphic image of the Woman's Building (shown). No tears, stains, or marks (shown). Corners gently rounded (shown).
