Frances Cleveland Trade Card Portrait
Object type:artifact
- Provenance
- The Phil Best Brewing Co. used Frances Cleveland to advertise Best Tonic about 1886-1887. She was the youngest First Lady at 21 years old. She earned nationwide respect as a charming hostess, loyal wife and good mother. This advertises the tonic, a bottle without the coupon and the imitation watercolor you received when you returned 12 coupons. It was unframed. This could be considered both a brewery advertisement and political. This was purchased at a trade show in Milwaukee duplicating the first convention held in Milwaukee in 1972.
