Notes: A humorous advertising booklet touting the virtues of
Rising Sun Stove Polish. The opening page shows an
"unscrupulous" Jewish pedlar selling Mrs. Sillybilly a
"Self Shining Stove Enamel." The worthless product not
only pitted the stove, it turned one’s hands black and
the air throughout the house became horribly toxic when
the heated stove gave off a "poisonous odor that made the
whole family dangerously sick."
The front oover offers a color view of the company’s
factory at Canton, Mass., whereas the rear cover contains
acrostic verse promoting the Rising Sun brand.
