Description
Black-and-white photo of a promotional retail store display for Log Cabin Syrup featuring Jim Babcock's Buckaroo Book, apparently taken inside a Fall River, Mass., market, no date, winter or spring 1937.
5" x 7" wide print. Photographer not indicated. Reverse has modern pencil: Taken in a Fall River Store.
While the scene is not in Hoboken, the Log Cabin product and publication were from the Log Cabin Products Division, General Foods Corporation, which was then in Hoboken.
The display features both Log Cabin Syrup and a R-W Pancake Flour which were being offered in a combination sale of both for 31 cents. Log Cabin bottles were priced at 23 cents and the flour was 2 for 19 cents. At center and near the bottom are promotional materials for Jim Babcock's Buckaroo Book and the prizes which children could get. (See archives 2010.007.0460 for a copy of this booklet which was distributed by Log Cabin; the promotion for prizes related to cowboy life and activitities such as the lariat on display had an end date of July 1, 1937 stated in it.)
