Round Oak framed advertising print. White paper, medium brown wood frame. Top half is a picture, sky view, of the Round Oak company. It shows many white buildings with black roofs, about nine smokestacks, four of which have orange "flames" coming out with the smoke. Three buildings have writing on them, ROUND OAK STOVE and FURNACE WORKS, ROUND OAK STOVES RANGES FURNACES, ROUND OAK STOVES RANGES & FURNACES. Behind the buildings is mostly clear space and trees, no houses. In front of the buildings are train tracks, two trains with engines and smoke, at least 12 boxcars sitting to the side, some connected. The Beckwith Memorial Building and the train depot are shown. A few people are scattered in the streets and horse and wagons are spotted. Below the picture is reads, "The Home of Genuine Round Oak Specialties "The Value of an Article is Measured by the Service It Renders in Use" Consider the To—morrows in buying THE BECKWITH COMPANY Dowagiac, Michigan The Round Oak City Makers of Good Goods Only". In the bottom left corner is Chief Doe—Wah—Jack on the Round Oak symbol and in the bottom right corner is a circle outline with the Round Oak leaves, inside it says The Round Oak Folks Make Good Goods Only.
