Hazard Powder Co. “Blue Ribbon” Smokeless

1895 introduction

“The Hazard Powder Company gave $50 for average for all using Hazard "Blue Ribbon" smokeless…”

The Blue Ribbon Gun Club will shortly offer a handsome silver cup for competition among the trap shooters of Delaware County. The cup has been presented to the club by one of its popular members, Mr. Eben McLaughlin, of the Hazard & Du Pont Powder Company, who hopes by this means to encourage trap shooting in this county.

“Hazard “Blue Ribbon” has been on the market less than 3 years…”

1899 Sportsmen’s Show

The last “Blue Ribbon” ad in Sporting Life was in 1902, but it was still offered by DuPont in 1908
http://library.la84.org/SportsLibrar.../SL3817014.pdf

It was discontinued prior to 1912 when under the Sherman Antitrust Act, Laflin & Rand was dissolved and DuPont was split into DuPont Powder Co. (which retained DuPont Bulk, Ballistite, Empire and “Schultze” and was later DuPont American Industries), Hercules Powder Co. (which retained “Infallible” and “E.C.”) and Atlas Powder Co.

My question has gone unanswered. Has anyone else ever seen this Hazard Promo piece before?

Interesting date, 1899 from sporting collectibles where I thought it was later ca.1912. I should have looked at dog pedigrees closer as setters Druid and Ruby were running the fields in the 1880’s.

Earlier in this post I noticed the attached and it reminded me of my father scolding his first cousin that he needed to do something about the ticks and flees on his dogs. His cousin responded, "It just reminds them that they are dogs."
