This advertising cabinet card features a little boy on a metal chair wearing a bib imprinted “MY MAMMA USES ATLAS FLOUR”. Atlas Flour was manufactured by B. Stern & Sons (Milwaukee, Wisconsin). The card’s photograph was taken by J. A. Janson in his studio also located in Milwaukee. This cabinet card, along with similar examples, was likely produced as part of a local promotion for the flour. It is likely that photos were of children of the company’s employees or other city residents. SOLD
