Placard

Description

Placard printed on heavy card stock in multiple colors of ink. A red ground enclosed by a corn stalk border surrounds a center shield-shaped frame containing an ear of corn and a cornstalk printed over a maroon ground. The placard was printed by the Crump Label Press of New York and Chicago. Items printed under the imprint "Crump Label Press" were likely printed between 1878 and 1891 as that was the period when the company produced under that specific name.

They do not bear the Crump Label Press imprint.
