EAST ST LOUIS IL & ST LOUIS MO Missouri Advertising Tray Mueller Furniture c1900

Description

Here is a very rare piece of E East Saint Louis ILL Heritage history from St Clair county.   Mueller Furniture was in two locations, one at 412 and 416 Broadway in ESTL, and one at 910-912 S. 4th Street in St Louis Missouri as well.    Cash Easy payments, Furniture dealer, this is under the present day arch grounds on the Saint Louis Side for that location.   Some edge chipping throughout the tray, ding around 900am on the face of the tray with a little paint loss, Mueller Bros was the dealer.   This is circa 1900 for sure. The tray is 16 inches tall, and 13 inches wide.  If you collect local history from these towns, this might be the last remaining piece like this from this store??   Mueller Furniture is still in belleville IL, but I don't know if this is the same family business or not, but seems certainly possible.  Near University City, Clayton, Brentwood, Kirkwood Webster Groves, valley park, fenton, Ferguson, Florissant, Hazelwood, Troy, Maryville, Wood River, Chesterfield, St Charles, St Peters, Des Peres etc and the Illinois towns of Granite city, Venice, Bethalto, Coulterville Chester, Pinckneyville, Duquoin, Carbondale, Herrin, Murphysboro, Red Bud, Mascoutah, Marissa, Evansville Waterloo Valmeyer Prairie  Du Rocher, Nashville, Centralia, Venedy, Highland, Greenville, Edwardsville Belleville E East ST Louis, Dupo, Columbia, Millstadt, etc in southern ILL.  If you collect beer or brewery trays like pre prohibition items, this is similar to those trays.  Coffee had trays, tea, whiskey, wine, etc all used trays like this one out of coshocton Ohio OH where the majority of 1900 era trays were made at one time for businesses across the U.S.!!
