The design on this button was the logo for the Ocean Spray Cranberry World Museum. Dedicated to educating the visitor on the history and cultivation of cranberries, the museum was located in downtown, Plymouth, Massachusetts. However, the building in which it was housed was sold by Ocean Spray, and the museum moved to the Edaville Theme Park in Lakeville, Massachusetts. From there the trail grows cold.

A museum visitor commented on Roadside America in 2003 that they were able to: “take a picture of a loved one next to the giant cranberry model or the cranberry bog,” and sample Ocean Spray products, “some [of which] are prototypes, not available to the public.” Unfortunately today visitors to Plymouth will have to be satisfied by looking at the Rock.

Cholerine was a product produced by the Germo Manufacturing Company of Sedalia, Missouri. The remedy was designed to cure cholera, gapes, and roup in chickens. With Cholerine, you, a poultry farmer, can, “[develop] otherwise poor and unhealthy fowls into a healthy condition—hence, with pure blood, good appetite, perfect digestion, clean craw and gizzard… the fowl fattens of her own accord and lays every egg nature intended she should.”
