Any advertising pieces for e107 Breisch-Williams?

Steven,

It seems as if information about Breisch-Williams is pretty illusive. Here's a
post from 2004 that you may want to take a look at:

While there are no advertisements included in it, issue #4 of Old Cardboard
Magazine contains a 6-page article about the E107 Breisch-Williams card set.

Best of luck to you,

Tricky to find anything on them. I think this is Leon's?

Hey Chris
Yes, that envelope is one I picked up along the way. I can't say I have seen too many Breisch Williams ads or ad pieces. Of course some of their cards have the scarce Breisch Williams purple overprint (as seen below) but there just isn't much out there. Also, some folks think the type 2 cards Tenney below) were cut off an advertisement or box. And lastly, I think it's Brian McQueen who came up with something, fact or theory, that might have related Breisch to Oxford Confectionery.

There is a long chain of ownership and names for the various companies in the Lancaster, PA area, Williams, Breisch, Oxfords, etc all are companies intertwined and evolved from the 1890's thru the early 20th century. However no specific advertising has been found for Breisch-Williams, however they are mentioned in newspaper accounts of the day.
