Lion Coffee trade cards are among the most familiar advertising ephemera of the late nineteenth century, and this example comes from the Woolson Spice Company of Toledo, Ohio, which marketed the brand. Trade cards like this one were handed out with packages of coffee and spices, so they reached households directly and were often saved in scrapbooks or albums. The Lion brand is best known for the lion-branded packaging and its promise of roasted coffee sealed against moisture, a selling point that appears throughout the company's advertising. The card belongs to a board on drinks, but its real interest lies in how it shows grocers using chromolithographed images to build brand loyalty.
