Theodore P. Croll, Ben Z. Swanson
It is fitting with a new president moving into the White House in 2017, that we pay homage to some of our past presidents whose celebrity status made thenn ideal trade card salesmen for a myriad of products and services including those involvingdentists, dentaloffices,toothacheremedies,chewinggum,andbreath fresheners. We have seen presidental visages fronn George Washington to Teddy Rooseveit on stock and customized advertizing trade cards for "Electric Lustre Starch," furniture, an undertaker, fertilizer, a fresh meat and canned fruit dealer, picture frame maker, publisher, sewing thread, farm equipment, patent medicines, the "US Clothing Company" (that made one card picturing 19 presidents from George Washington to Ulysses S. Grant), and many others. "Presidential" and "vice-presidential" dentistry-related trade cards are pictured here.
