We love perusing old magazine ads---and it's even more fun when you stumble upon something with a Croton reference--HERE's A 1901 AD FOR CELERY KING, NATURE'S CURE--IT MADE A NEW WOMAN OUT OF CROTON'S MRS. KLEEHAMMER! Click on the photo. (And fyi, during the late 1800s and early 1900s, “patent medicines” were popular elixirs, salves, and pills. These so-called “cure-alls” claimed to ease a wide range of ailments....Some of the well-known patent medicines from that era included Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, Old Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla, and Paine’s Celery Compound)
You may also enjoy just a small sample of these other ads with a Croton connection--ONE day there will be a full index
These were the prefect distraction on a hot day.
