Ads from the Territorial Enterprise

Pictured below are a couple of interesting ads from the Virginia, Nevada, Daily Territorial Enterprise of August 6th 1872. They are especially of interest because they advertise some of the products that came in some of the containers which we know and appreciate.Photobucket
Check out the last sentence in this one. Was Brisacher's store the source of those bottles for the VC surrounds?Photobucket

USA Bitters trade mark

The following is William Hawkins' claim of trade marks for Dr. Wonser's USA Indian Root Bitters, dated June 3, 1871. He is to be thanked for providing collectors with those fantastic bottles that are so highly sought after today. Sadly, a color photocopy of the label was not available when I did this several years ago.PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
