E107 anyone?

Have we ever noted, and forgive me if I've forgotten, that the E107 pose of Chief Zimmer is the same one used for his Just So card?

interesting, especially since the Young is obviously a different photo. who was the photographer for the Just So cards?

I have no idea who photographed the Just So's. There were many photos taken of Young, so a more current one was used. But the Zimmer photo was already ten years old when it was used on the E107. Maybe that was the only one they had available.

Woops, sorry for derailing the thread above with a few colorful cards. I thought about deleting them but who cares, it's cards. Getting back to the subject I don't really ever see much advertising for Breisch-Williams? Here is a possibly related item.....Plus, and I know we have had this discussion before, I think there is a relation to the Oxford Caramels too....

Breisch-Williams Co. (e107) and The Williams Caramel Co. (e103) were both located in Oxford, PA. So what happened to Breisch?

Not sure exactly what happened to Mr. Breisch, but several caramel companies were cannabalizing each other during that timeframe (early 1900s). Pennsylvania seemed to be mecca for caramel. Not only was there a big plant in Oxford with Breisch-Williams - later Williams Caramel, but Mr. Hershey was in Lancaster, PA. He seemed to do ok with his business.


Here's a couple more E107s...
