International Harness Soap and Ebony Oil Dressing, International Stock Food Company, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Advertisement for Harness Soap and Ebony Oil Dressing, a product used to clean, blacken, oil, and polish boots, shoes, and other leather products. 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.
