Vintage Collectibles:Trading Cards:Friends Company:Rolled Oats
Victorian Cereal Advertising Trade Card for Friends' (Quaker?) Rolled Oats by Muscatine Oatmeal Company of Iowa. Appears to be early competitor of Quaker Oats Company.

$125 USDBlack Caricature Postcard - Racist - Daddy & Baby
Vintage Collectibles:Black Americana:Postcards
Miscegenation" comes from the Latin miscere, "to mix" and genus, "race". While the etymology of the term is not pejorative, historically, "race mixing" between black and white people was widely taboo, and in much of U.S. South was even illegal when the term was introduced in the U.S. in 1863.[1] The term frequently was used in the context of ethnocentric or racist attitudes and laws against interracial sexual relations and intermarriage. As a result, "miscegenation" is often a loaded word, and ...
