Description

An especially nice promotional card game from 1915, published by the Household Words Game Company. Each of the advertisers received complete decks in maroon colored boxes with gold lettering that featured the company name.

Each player tries to collect sets of the same numbered card. They ask for cards from other players (which must be handed over) but if you are unsuccessful in your search then you end your turn by drawing a card. Once a set is collected, it is placed in front of the player who completed this task. Eventually, all sets will be collected and the player with the most sets, wins.

Each card is an advertisement for products at the time. The products are:
Pompeian Night Cream and other cosmetics
Kelly-Springfield Tires and Tubes
Several different Willys-Overland vehicles
Post cereals
Welch's Punch, Lemonade, others
Beech-Nut Chewing Gum, Peanut Butter and Bacon. (Bacon!!)
