Default 1912 Brunner's D304 newspaper ads

I'm not sure if these ads have been posted before I couldn't find them if they were.

In June/July 1912 Several ads ran in Buffalo newspapers for Brunner's Bread.

None of the ads prior to July mention "Baseball pictures".

This is the last ad I found in June It appeared in the June 27th 1912 Edition of the Buffalo news.

After that all of the ads in July starting on July 1st 1912 mention "Baseball pictures"

The ad with the young fellow carrying bread is neat.

Two more ads are shown below that may be of interest. The one from May 1912 includes the mention of 25 subjects, then names some of them.

Does anyone know why D304 cards have always been identified as being issued between 1911-14? Was it just because that was the range of years that could be identified because of the player selection?

Great ads Pat and Trey...have either of you encountered any from other years besides 1912?

There were team changes on Chance, Chase, Crandall, Evers and Herzog that date to 1914, I'm not sure about 1911. Robert (caramelcard) has a few great posts on here about them and a really nice article in the spring 2007 #11 old cardboard magazine.

Thanks Pat...I forgot about the team changes. Here is a link (which is located in the archives center, by the way) to the thread from 2006 that has some interesting info concerning the backs:

https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=83008

With the ads as shown and the team changes as mentioned, it makes you think that possibly these card were just issued in two different years (1912 and 1914), with the Brunners and Butter Krust backs in 1912, and the Weber, Martens and General Baking in 1914.

I've wondered what the "102" on the back of Brunners and Fleischmann examples represented. I found this article from early in 1912 that discusses a union issue that General Baking Company had with labeling paper products. I wonder if the "102" was just to let people know that the cards were printed in a union shop? Any other theories on the "102"?

It's possible, although the unions had various labels and insignia identifying the exact union well before the cards were issued. Having the number of the shop but not the union label or "bug" would be odd.

I'm not sure they even did it back then, but modern food related stuff often has something indicating the state license for the production plant.
