A really cute large size 11 X 14 sheet music item with a color litho of little kids at the beach with there lovable dog. Their faces. are photographs superimposed over the illustration--The dog has a real look to it.
Footprints in the sand around them(enlarge photo) say "RACINE FEET" the name of a stocking manufacturer in Beloit, Wisconsin..."Racine" is the name of another Wisconsin town where the factory was probably located. Oddly, the kids have their feet buried in the sand--a missed opportunity to show off the socks advertised!! -BLOOPER! Ha Ha!-Composed by C.A, Gelman (pictured)--A nice early sheet music item in the "Advertising," collecting category. 1909-March-Two Step.
Hey! brunswick--Thanks...
Another missed opportunity here--no words, an instrumental--I am surprised there were no lyrics letting us know the great advantages of wearing their stocking!! After all this was an advertising piece!!
