General Notes
Note
Notes: The heavy-set man resembles Fatty [Roscoe Conkling] Arbuckle, a famous slapstick comedian and silent film star of the era. While it is apparently not the celebrity, it does appear to be an example of an advertiser trading on the fame of well-known personage without compensation.
