Abram Clark Cardstock Store Counter Display, 1930s

C-18802 c. 1930s; mfd. by Breuker & Kessler Co. for C. H. Stallman & Son, Inc. - York, PA Cardstock countertop display produced to promote Abram Clark cigars, featuring bold lithographed graphics, faux woodgrain cigar box imagery, and repeated portrait panels of Abram Clark, signer of the Declaration of Independence. Designed to mimic a stacked cigar box arrangement, the display presents strong shelf presence with saturated yellows, reds, and browns, period typography, and patriotic branding common to early 20th-century cigar advertising.

Surviving examples of this scale and visual impact are increasingly scarce due to the fragile nature of the material and heavy in-store use...
