Issued by Allen & Ginter American

Not on view

This album page displays 31 images hand-cut from an Allen & Ginter advertising banner that was intended for display in stores selling Allen & Ginter brand cigarettes. Burdick notes in "The American Card Catalog" that many cut-outs have been discovered in personal collections that cannot be matched to any of the numbered and classified banners (Allen & Ginter banners are classified as G1-G29). These cut-outs cannot be matched to a specific numbered banner, although all appear to be from the same banner thematically. All cut-outs on page depict portraits of ladies or actresses on daily household goods such as a beer stein, lantern, frying pan, and pin cushion.
