I just spent 2 hours trying to figure this out as well. I have the exact same bottle. Mine also has pairs of dots that appear to be randomly placed on the body.
One mystery solved!!
Thanks
Debbie
Brilliant eyeballing! Thanks for the solution to a long running mystery.
"Burnham's in New York began as E. S. Burnham Co. Manufacturers Grocers' Specialties"
"From the New York Times, 6 Jan. 1941, "East Orange, N. J., Jan. 5 - Elmer S. Burnham, founder and retired president of the E. S. Burnham Packing Company of New York, which he established in 1890, died here last night at his residence, 67 Watson Avenue, after a short illness. Born in Deerfield, Mich., 87 years ago, he was a grain broker in Chicago before entering the packing business. A son, S. M. Burnham, lives in Florida." The subject of this notice was Elmer S. Burnham (1855-1941)..." From.
That Elmer S. was an inventive guy.
An a wildly imaginative pitch...
"Regarding Burnham's bouillon The American Druggist and Pharmaceutical Record of 8 October 1900 (vol. xxxvii, no. 8) wrote, "It was conclusively proven in the Spanish-American War that the Clam Bouillon of the E. S. Burnham Company was an invaluable preparation, both as a food and as a tonic. When arrangements for supplies for hospital use were being made by the Red Cross Society, and careful investigation was made by the society into the respective merits of every product, the E. S. Burnham Company was among the favored number and received a small order for their Clam Bouillon. Within a short time they received duplicate orders ... With the public Burnham's has been a popular article for several seasons..." Way to go, Walter great site you've made.
