Game Info
An especially nice promotional card game from 1915, published by a paint producer (still active nearly 100 years later). Each player tries to collect sets of the same numbered card. They ask for cards from other players (which must be handed over) but if you are unsuccessful in your search then you end your turn by drawing a card. Once a set is collected, it is placed in front of the player who completed this task. Eventually, all sets will be collected and the player with the most sets, wins. Each card is an advert for products at the time. The products are; Pompeian Night Cream and other cosmetics Kelly-Springfield Tires and Tubes Several different Willys-Overland vehicles Post cereals Welch's Punch, Lemonade, others Beech-Nut Chewing Gum, Peanut Butter and Bacon. (Bacon!!) Knox Gelatin desserts Perfection Oil Cook stoves, ovens, heaters Western Electric, Phones, Irons, washing machines Libby's Hawaiian Pineapple, evaporated milk, fruits Ingersoll Dollar , Junior, Midget and Eclipse Watches Men's and Women's Walk-Over shoes. Sherwin-Williams SWP House Paint, varnish and wall paint. I think that each publisher was given copies of the game to sell or give away to their respective customers and/or staff. Comes in a red box.
