I recently purchased one of these Philadelphia Centennial CDs on eBay for a total of $18.48. Notice by scrolling to the bottom where it says Hires Root Beer was one of the products introduced at the Centennial. But whether that reference is actually published in one of the catalogs contained in the CD or just part of the seller's description, I do not know yet. I will post what it contains after it arrives in about a week ...

In the meantime, here's a Charles Hires vanilla bean business card that's on eBay for $60.00. Exact date unknown but described as circa 1870s. (I do not intend to purchase it).

That's a very interesting thing to find Bob. Strangely on ebay also. I hope it contains some good info.
By the way, do you ever paint any bottles in your paintings?
