Artifact Overview
Throughout the late-19th to early-20th centuries, lithographers created labels to help sell products. Manufacturers of foodstuffs utilized the same design for several different products -- a strategy which helped customers distinguish one brand over another. Olney and Floyd's Butterfly Brand products were easy to identify with their colorful, eye-catching labels and signature butterfly.
