Type of Advertising Hand Fan
Original/Reproduction Original
Date of Creation 1940's

For your consideration is a rare hand fan advertising Squirt soda for the Geo. B. Allen Bottling Co. of Joliet Illinois.  The fan features a determined little boy in shorts and boxing gloves. At the bottom of the fan is printed 'Copyright The Gerlach-Barklow Co. Joliet, Ill. U.S.A.' and 'I Ain't Bluffin'. 
The artist's signature (Adelaide Hiebel) is on the bottom right. The Gerlach-Barklow Co. was founded in 1907 and was one of the largest advertising companies in America. The opposite side of the fan has an interesting slogan that says, "Cool and Refreshing As An Ocean Breeze".  I haven't seen this slogan on any other Squirt advertising.  This fan most likely dates from the late 1930's - early 1940's.  A notice in the August 1921 'The Beverage Journal' notes that the Orange Crush Bottling Co. of Braceville, Illinois was purchased by George B. Allen and Sons.  The fan measures approximately 14" tall and 7 1/2" across.  It is in very good condition with a bit of staining and a small patch of paper loss on the bottom right edge.
