Salt-glazed stoneware, liquor jug from A.H. Holton Retail Liquor Dealer in New Bern, North Carolina. Advertisements in the Daily News by the Commercial Printing Company reveal that Holton was selling a wide range of foreign and domestic alcoholic beverages from his shop on Middle Street in New Bern in 1881. Just a few of the items he stocked included brandies, whiskies, gin, rum, ale, wine, and cider. Personalized jugs like these were used by grocers and liquor stores to advertise their products to their customers. This was a common practice in the mid-nineteenth century.Collection ID: TP.2014.006.001
