International Stock Food Company (Minneapolis, Minnesota)
Date Created:
1905
Description:
Poster advertising Dan Patch in a horse race at the West Chicago Driving Club in Chicago, Illinois, on Saturday, September 30, 1905. International Stock Food Company was owned by Marion Savage, who bought race horse Dan Patch to help promote his business. Consequently, Dan Patch is featured on many International Stock Food Products. The horse and his owner had a close connection: Dan Patch died July 11, 1916; Savage died of a heart attack a few days later. Dan Patch became less significant as America embraced the automobile. Ironically, Savage started manufacturing the Dan Patch automobile in 1911.
