This identical full-page article was published in at least twenty different newspapers in at least twenty different states - all of which appeared between June and August of 1919. Even though there are lots of Orange Crush ads published prior to this, with 1917 being the earliest I have found so far, this particular ad seems to have been the Orange Crush Company's earliest coast-to-coast campaign to promote their product. And even though it doesn't include the names J.M. Thompson, Neil C. Ward, or Clayton J. Howell, it does say ...
"It took many years of investigation and experimenting before the drink you now know was produced."
But whether "many years" means since 1906 or since 1916, I don't know. All I know at present is that I cannot find a document of any type for Orange Crush earlier than 1916.
