| Additional Information | This is an advertisement button made for Earle A. Mann, the Chicago representative for Standard Brake Shoe & Foundry Co. It is unclear when the company was founded, but there is evidence of it being in operation as early as 1915. It may have been a supplier of iron and steel castings for railway cars on the Frisco (St. Louis-San Francisco) line between the 1920s and 30s. |
