Scope and Content

These labels represent some of the cherry products that the Reynolds Preserving Co. packed and then attached labels for other company brands in 1931. Because of swells in the cans, these individual labels were returned to the Reynolds Preserving Co. as proof, to obtain credit on the shipment. The Cadet, Sailor Boy, Lee, and Summer Girl Brands were packed for the H.D. Lee Mercantile Co. of Kansas City, Mo. The Santa Fe and Ranney's Finest were packed for the Ranney-Davis Mercantile Co. of Arkansas City, Kansas. Physical Characteristics: 17 labels, various sizes, in 1 folder.
