OSI 25" from 1907 at GeoHive.

From Wikipedia In 1899, the company introduced the trademark Oxo for a cheaper version; the origin of the name is unknown, but presumably comes from the word 'ox'. The first Oxo cubes were produced in 1910 and further increased Oxo's popularity, as the cubes were cheaper than the liquid.

Intriguing - You would have to think that all the onlookers were not there by accident, it must have something to do with a well advertised event.

A1 Sauce is from 1873, no help.

derangedlemur Wonder did he win prizes later than 1896, or was he still living on the glory for a few years? (These Eason photos date from 1900 onwards...)

From some relation or other "Undated photo showing Clarke's Sale Rooms, Drogheda, Co. Louth (on the roof to the right). Eugene Clarke, draper (my great grandfather) started the business and had premises on Shop Street and West Street. One of his sons James Bernard Clarke ran the business until 1905 when he emigrated to New Jersey with his wife and 6 children." www.facebook.com/freeirishgenealogyebooks/timeline?filter... (it's the same pic, btw) It still says Clarke on the front as well as the roof so I guess it's pre-1905 (though it's J. A. as opposed to J. B.).
