This picture has been copied, I believe, and reissued more recently. If original it would be pre-1920, when National Prohibition forced Bauer to shut down.

"Copliments of A. Bauer Dist. & Imp. Co. Chicago USA" .really neat and colorful. Looks to be early 1900's. Do you have any info on this?Bob Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16470427421503404620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657913448535983609.post-91456993014103305132017-01-30T15:10:35.422-08:002017-01-30T15:10:35.422-08:00Dear Ms. Hale: Thanks for your kind words.

A interesting scoundrel. I'm afraid that what you see on the post in photos and material is pretty much what I have. But I am planning to do an article on Bauer for a magazine in the near future and in revisiting the story, if I find something that might be of interest to you, would send. Give me your email by sending a message to Jack.Sullivan9@verizon.net. Also your address in Chicago to see if it can be matched to a photo.Jack Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01499431800088809848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657913448535983609.post-67786171029013303792016-03-10T15:39:57.348-08:002016-03-10T15:39:57.348-08:00Hi.
