Easter Bunny Greetings from Putnam Dyes, ca. 1910s

Easter Bunny Greetings from Putnam Dyes, ca. 1910s
"Economize by using Putnam Dyes and Putnam Dry-Cleaner."

Printed on the back of this die-cut advertising card: "Easter Greetings from Frank P. Allen, Shanks, W. Va."

A royal rabbit wearing a crown sits on colorful Easter eggs to promote Putnam Dyes—used for clothes but not eggs, as far as I know—and Putnam Dry-Cleaner, a solvent for home dry cleaning.

For another multicolored advertising piece from this company, see Putnam Fadeless Dyes and Tints Advertising Fan.
