Duluth Imperial Flour “Airship” Sign
This week‘s featured design from Zenith City Press’s line of vintage reproduction art comes from a color lithographic advertisement published ca. 1895. The Duluth, Minnesota, flour mill was the most modern flour mill when it was constructed in the late 1880s, and at one point the largest flour mill in the world. The whimsical design indicates that Imperial flour will make your bread so light and airy it could serve as a hot-air balloon and includes this fun little poem:
As our airship proudly raises,
On high we hear the praises,
And our song the world amazes
By its truthFor we sing of product cereal,
Which makes our bread ethereal,
And is known as flour “Imperial”
From Duluth!
