In 1901, Quaker Oats came into existence after the merging of four oat mills, which included Henry Parson CrowellOs Quaker Mill Company in Ravenna, Ohio, John Stuart, Robert Stuart and George DouglasOs cereal mill in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Ferdinand SchumacherOs The German Mills American Oatmeal Company in Akron, Ohio and The Rob Lewis & Company American Oats and Barley Oatmeal Corporation. Unique Advertising: In 1902, Quaker Oatmeal boxes included coupons, which could be redeemed for legal deeds to tiny lots, usually only ten feet by ten feet, in Milford, Connecticut. The group of OOatmeal LotsO was known as Liberty Park. Since the lots were so small the landowners paid practically nothing in property taxes. By the mid-1970s, the town, upset with the abundance of paper work the tiny lots had generated, as well as the inconsequential influx of property taxes able to be collected, decided to foreclose on the property. Presently, the Bic Corporation plant resides on the land. In 1955, Quaker Oats once again used the land giveaway promotion, this one associated with the American television show OSergeant Preston of the Yukon.O The promotional deeds that included land plots in Klondike, Canada, were offered in Quaker Oats Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice cereal.

We will be offering unique opportunities to receive a gift with your purchase at specified times through the holidays. Subscribe to our newsletter to be informed of these special events. What We Deliver At times we receive inquiries about our pricing, especially for vintage advertising or historical halftone prints, and are asked why our prices are consistently higher than some other sellers of similar items. For the first five years of our business, we asked our primary consumer base what they wanted. Our primary consumers - historical societies, historians, archivists, curators, university professors, historical decorators, and collectors, etc., have diverse and specific needs and we've built our business to accommodate those needs, like no other seller worldwide. Below is what is unique about how and what we offer as the world's leader in print ephemera: Product Packaging. Every product is placed against custom black acid-free board with crystal-clear, archival protective closures. We are the only sellers in the industry who provide display-quality black boards with every item (which also make exceptional presentations for gift-giving). Oversized engravings are protected by museum quality tubes. Product Pictures. Online digital images to evaluate the original products are imaged high resolution, 100% perpendicular, giving the customer the ability to enlarge and see fine details in every listing. This digital imaging is not provided by any other seller of ephemera worldwide. Images captured for posting online come from world-class Nikon imaging systems. Product Provenance with Certificates of Authenticity. Period Paper maintains image & text databases to track full provenance for virtually every item in inventory. This requires acquisitions that allow us to document provenance, in-house maintenance of databases, and dissemination of that information to buyers. We provide a certificate of authenticity, beautifully printed on linen stock. Product Acquisition. Period Paper only acquires common items in the very best condition. However, our specialty is procuring rare items, which makes up 80% of our inventory versus other sellers. Over 115,000 items available from Period Paper are not available from any other seller in the world. While it may not change the quality of a simple halftone print, it changes its rarity and raw costs. For vintage advertising, while it might be a common brand, many of our ads were uncommon placements, or trade placements versus consumer, or truly one-of-a-kind placements. Product Packaging for Shipping. No one packages and ships an item like Period Paper. We understand the value of the items you purchase. And, over the years, we've built packaging and a reputation for getting items safely to every customer. Regardless of the package destination, each item is packaged as if it's going to a small hut in Siberia by dog sled. It will arrive safely. Due to our commitment to a premium service model, and with our dedication to providing our consumer base with what they now expect from us (see list above), our prices are higher than most other sellers in this market. Period Paper delivers more, consistently, and with a guarantee that every item is original to the date specified in each listing. It's why over 110,000 consumers have chosen Period Paper as their trusted source for historical and antique print ephemera and art over the last nine years. Thank you for trusting us!

We promise to ship quicly but please understand that we have no control of the customs process and while delays are not common, they do happen. As per eBay policy, we are required to inform you of the following: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up, do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. Please contact us with any questions. Combined Items in International Shipments Period Paper will only charge shipping on the first item purchased. There is no additional charge for multiple items shipped together from Period Paper. However, some international eBay sites do not have 'ADD TO CART' as a button at the top of each listing. In this case, many of our international customers use the eBay.com USA site and use 'add to cart' to add all items, and then checkout. OR, you can hit Buy it Now on all the items you would like and then send us a note and ask us for a combined invoice. However, using the eBay USA site is what most of our 25,000+ international customers do when buying multiple items from us. We package every item with care. Experience the difference with Period Paper and let us serve you today. top of page Our Commitment to You In 2014 we will celebrate our 10th anniversary and we will continue our commitment to historians, archivists, educators, and collectors worldwide to provide the highest quality products delivered in the most protected and professional manner.
