Default ferguson bakery card, second request

Posted By: jims

The Ferguson does exist and it has a unique message on it distinct from the Fleischmann card. The tear off coupon on the Ferguson card was used to re
deem a 23 inch square felt pillow top premium with 12 small pennants affixed to it. A small picture of the premium can be found on the ink blotter pictured in Frank Slocum's book on classic baseball cards. The text on the Ferguson coupon reads, "Bring or send 50 coupons to Ferguson Bakery, No 853 Albany St., Roxbury, Boston and receive in exchange a beautiful felt pillow top made from star baseball pennants or favorite movie actor pennants. This photo card was wrapped with Peerless bread, perfect for the home plate". Someone sent me the text but no picture. So it does exist.
