Item 9216
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this most desirable Advertising Mug that reads, "Compliments of Werner & Trapnell, High Grade Wines, Liquors, & Cigars, 4105 Clark Ave., Cleveland, Ohio."  On the back it bears the saying, "Marriage is Often a Flat Failure."  
 
What an odd combination!  The only thing I can think of is that if your marriage is a failure, you can drown out your sorrows with booze and cigars from this store! 
 
Circa 1900 to 1920, this mug features the Advertising which includes reference to Cigars and a "Wisdom" observation on the back.  Stands 3 3/4" tall.
 
Excellent Condition.  Very light wear to the gold trim.  Otherwise as made.
