Don't Fall Off the Tomato!!

While not a grower, Githens & Rexsamer are super merchandizers and this sign is too cool not to share!  I think they were from Philly.  I read last night in a 1913 article that they sold "high end staples, at fancy prices" :-)  Also, when they adopted trucks (5 ton and 2 ton Wilcox power wagons) their trade increased so much they had to add more salesmen on the truck to handle business.   They covered 60 miles in a day selling vegies.
 I am guessing they branded many things and sold them under their name on the East Coast.  A classy little bottle molded with Gothic arches once held their gherkins.
