1908? One colored "The Cock and the Jewel " card advertising Heydt's "Yankee" bread. 2¾" x almost 4".
The card is slightly torn on its right side. Again, the artist creates a composite picture, with the real life scene in the center. In this scene, a rooster and a chicken stand over a gold pocket watch while a third fowl nests in the background. The two additional scenes show, in the upper left, an ear of corn and, in the lower right, an array of gleaming jewels. Sickle-like arcs and ribbons divide the sections. This card has no indication of being printed in Germany. The message for Heydt's "Yankee" bread seems to vary with each picture. Here it is "All Bread is not alike. Try Heydt's 'Yankee' Bread and note the difference." - Date
