Collector’s Notes
Agricultural advertising pieces like this are getting harder to find, especially practical objects that were meant to be used and tossed. The bright green color, farm-business imprint, and useful winter form give this one strong small-town Midwest character.
A fun, functional piece of farm advertising that still looks right at home on display.
