| Title: | Almanac advertisement |
| Date: | 1906 |
| Description: | This advertisement for Cheney's Expectorant appeared in the 1906 issue of Grier's Almanac, which has been published in Georgia since 1807. The advertisement reads "Why let your children suffer? A life saver. Cheney's Expectorant." It features a cartoonish image of a child in the midst of a whirlpool labeled "Coughs, Colds, Croup." The child holds on to a bottle of Cheney's Expectorant and escapes being pulled down by the whirlpool. Advertisements for the product appeared frequently in the almanac during the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 1912 the Atlanta drug company John B. Daniel Inc., which sold the expectorant, purchased the almanac. |
