Wish You Were Here, from a Grace Drayton Copyist

 

Here's card #3 from the 1910 Campbell's Kids series, inspired but not drawn by Grace Drayton. These cards came in two varieties, this version adds the text "10 cents a can".

Comments:
The condensed soup and tomato sauce, etc. that Campbell's produced all had the two long gold torches on either side of the gold medal on the label until about 1942. Then they were gone, I don't know why, as ancillary causualties of World War Two.
 
I think with the supply complications (Lucky Strike Green's case notwithstanding), there was a move to simplify things because of he war; it also just plain may have been a refresh.
