    Description

    This  fantastic weekly bulletin  was issu
    ed
    by the Colonial Baking Company Baking Co. in the
    Unit
    ed
    States
    as an advertising  premium for their bread and other bak
    ed
    goods.   The back of the bulletin features a card featuring different breeds of Dogs.    I have not been able to find this series list
    ed
    in any reference guide including Burdick’s American Card Catalogue.  This series was  issu
    ed
    in  similar manner to the D2 American Airplanes  or the D6 American Indian Chiefs Series and other similar series issu
    ed
    by such companies as Krugs and others.  The cards were issu
    ed
    in a weekly pamphlet or bulletin form, usually print
    ed
    on the back page.  These series were also usually  issu
    ed
    in conjunction with an album that the child could keep the cards in once they had been cut out from the pamphlet (although none are mentioned in this Bulletin).  In this case the inner pages feature advertising for specials at the bakery and also lists a recipe as well.  The attraction to non-sports card collectors is the back page which features a card from their Dog Breeds  series.  The there is a handsome black and white photographic  image of the featured dog breed and a brief written description of the breed as well.  Unfortunately the bulliten does not mention how many different breed there are in the complete series.   In this case the DOG featured is the WHIPPET
    .
    The pamphlet measures 6 ½  inches by just under 3 5/8  inches approximately.   The bulletin is free from major creases or tears, and is fully intact.  I think it displays nicely.  I have scann
    ed
    the front cover and the back pages fully open,   fairly large for you to be able to judge condition for yourself
    Because I believe that this series was intend to be cut out and collect
    ed
    , and that it is print
    ed
    on thin paper stock,  I imagine that not many surviv
    ed
    fully intact and in nice collectable condition.
    This is a scarce series.
    I  will be trying to list several  EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days
    (spread across different categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Cigarettes , Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities, Dog Breeds,  Circus themes and many more.  To view the other cards I have up on ebay please click  on the “View Sellers other Items” Icon located on this page. It will take you directly to them.
