Title- “Hires to you for thirst and pleasure.”- the ad shows a stylized drawing of a chef holding a bottle of Hires root beer. History- (from Wikipedia) Hires Root Beer was created by Philadelphia pharmacist Charles Elmer Hires. Accounts vary and the actual time and place of the discovery may never be known, but by 1876, Hires had developed his own recipe and was marketing 25-cent packets of powder which each yielded five gallons of root beer. Hires marketed it as a solid concentrate of sixteen wild roots and berries and claimed it could purify the blood and make rosy cheeks. In 1890, the Charles E. Hires Company incorporated and began supplying Hires root beer in small bottles claiming over a million bottles sold by 1891. Dimensions- 5 x 14 inches Condition- Excellent. Most of the ads in my booth are from tabloid-sized magazines, measuring about 10 x 14 inches. The ads are shipped flat in rigid envelopes reinforced with cardboard inserts and, because of their large size, these ads are expensive to mail. Shipping cost in the USA and Canada is $9 US per order. The good thing is the shipping cost is per order and not per ad. The cost is the same no matter how many ads you buy, if you buy them at the same time. ?Buyers outside of North America please contact us for an exact shipping quote.
