    Description

    Antique Embossed Johnston Cookie Sign Fancy Cookies Milwaukee WI RARE
    A Scottish immigrant named A.J. Johnston established the A.J. Johnston Confectionery and Cracker Company in 1848 as a local supplier of cookies and crackers. Within a few years the company had a regional and national reputation for high quality products. In 1899, his son Robert built the first factory and expanded the product line into chocolates and toppings. By 1920-23, a modern Art Deco manufacturing and office facility was constructed by Herman J. Esser to house all Robert A. Johnston’s operations.
    This is extremely hard to find and a great piece of history. In great condition for it's age which I'm guessing is early 1900's. Please see pics and ask any questions before bidding.
