Cathy or Gail I see both of you have been helpful to others in sourcing. I would appreciate help on two items that are not in the book "Evidence", the training CD "Ultimate Guide to Sources", in the LUG archives or on various internet sites that deal with sourcing.
I have copies of Great American Importing Tea Company Trade Cards that I have had since 2002 and still cannot figure out how to source in Legacy. These cards have a picture and some advertising and about 5 x 3 inches. I also have a copy of what might be a Trade Card or an advertisement flyer or ??? that I would appreciate some ideas of how to source it. This is about 5 x 3 inches. It has - Great American Importing Tea Co. quite large at the top. Below this is about selling Teas, Coffees, and Spices at prices way below all others, and giving away beautiful and useful Premiums most liberally. There is more of this type of thing telling about this company. Then it has City Stores: and lists 14 addresses & towns. Below this is Other Agencies: and lists 15 addresses & towns. At the bottom it has Headquarters and the address. All of these were most likely from about 1880 when the company was founded in San Francisco California to not too long after 1907 when the founder died. I also have the following that I cannot figure out how to source. In 2002 on the website www.isaak.unh.edu/speccoll/sulloway.2htm I found where the Great American Importing Tea Co. is mentioned it appears to be something to do with songs, they seem to be patriotic songs published from 1898 to 1918. Such as On to Plattsburg - 1916, On to Spain - 1898, On to Victory - 1918. The owner of the Great American Importing Tea Co. is an ancestor. If you think I should keep this printout from this website I would appreciate some help on how to source it. This printout has: On to Spain Publication Date: 1898 Composer: Jose. B. Carey Lyricist: Jos. B. Carey Performer: [this is blank] Illustrator: [this is blank] Publisher: Great American Importing Tea Co. Here is more on the printout about the patriotic songs. This is a printout from the same site: 12. Patriotic Songs, Poems, and Games Then it lists songs and something about the songs. Here is the one that I need help with. "On to Spain: To the Boys in Blue." Patriotic War Chorus. Music and lyrics by Jos. B. Carey. N.p.: Great American Importing Tea Co., 1898.
