Arbuckle Bros. was a coffee company founded by brothers John Arbuckle (1839-1912) and Charles Arbuckle in the 1860s. Sadly, Charles passed away at an early age. John continued to build the business and the Brooklyn factory opened in 1871. Arbuckle Bros. was once the largest coffee company in the United States. Their most famous coffee blend was Ariosa, which was the first national brand of coffee. Following the passing of John in 1912, Arbuckle family members continued to operate the business. Arbuckle Bros. stayed in the Arbuckle family until the 1930s when the company was acquired by General Foods. A separate coffee company in Arizona called Arbuckles' revived the Arbuckle name and still operates to this day. Notably, Arbuckles' still sells the Arbuckle Brothers' signature brand, Ariosa. Trade cards were antique business cards that first became popular during the late seventeenth century in Paris and Lyon, France and London, England. Trade cards were often given by business owners and proprietors to patrons and customers as a way to promote their businesses. Prior to the use of street addresses, trade cards had maps so clients could locate the associated business. Many of these cards also incorporated elaborate designs, illustrations, and other decorative features. Trade cards became popular in the United States during the nineteenth century in the period after the Civil War. The late nineteenth century also saw the advent of trade card collecting as a hobby. While they are no longer in use, trade cards influenced the formation of trading cards and were the predecessors of modern-day business cards.

First Edition
First edition. State Maps Series - Map of Utah #86. 3" x 5" card. Front side of card offers a color map of Utah, the Great Salt Lake and the Mormon Tabernacle. The reverse side of the cards in this series gives 4 reasons why Ariosa Coffee costs more and is worth more than other brands of coffee. It also provides an explanation of the series, along with a list of all 50 states and territories represented. John and Charles Arbuckle established the coffee enterprise destined to bear their name sometime in the mid-1850s. By 1871, the business was thriving and had established itself in Brooklyn. Their major brands were Ariosa and Yuban Coffees. When the firm began using premium trade cards as part of its advertising strategy, it succeeded far beyond any modest expectations. During the last 25 years of the 19th century, thousands of different insert cards were distributed inside of product packages by the nation's many cigarette and tobacco companies. These, however, tended to be oriented toward men and boys and portrayed athletes, stage actresses, and beautiful women. No one came close to publishing the quantity and diversity of souvenir cards that Arbuckle did. Humor, history, geography and cooking hints were some of the many topics, with titles such as A Trip Around the World, Pictorial History of the United States and Territories, Cookery, State Maps, Animals of the World, and History of the Sports and Pastimes of All Nations. Slight bumping to corners and edges. Very good.
