For more than a third of a century
it has annually been placed upon
millions of bottles of ScOtt's Emul-
siOn-a guarantee of purity and
goodness. Small wonder that the
slogan, See that the Emulsion that
you buy always bears the Fisher
man." has been accepted and endor-
sed by millions who know, from ex-
perience, the rich, tonic-nourishing
properties of Scott's Emulsion
Probably among all advertising
devices or symbols used in the
world, none enjoys greater promi-
hence or is so widely known as this
picture of the honest, brOnzed-faced
fisherman, a picture of
health taken out of real life. Those
who take Scott's Emulsion are as
sured that it is cod-liver oil, rich,
pure, health-building, pleasantly
favored, scientifically emulsifed-
and made easy to take and assimil-
ate.

daily catch and who was struggling
under a heavy load. He had just
brought ashore the largest Goldfish
ever caught on that coast. Impress
ed with this unusual sight of the
bronzed-faced fisherman with the
large Goldfish strapped to his back,
it was decided that they could be
made into an effective advertising
symbol, to send throughput the
world in the interest of SCOTS
Emulsion of pure Norwegian cod
liver oil. Right on the shore the man
with the big fish was sketched and
later put into color, and since that
day until now this picture has been
sent as an advertising evangel in
magazines, ON cards,
posters, and in many other ways, to
the ends of the earth.
Shortly after it's origin the advan-
tage of using this picture was more
fully realized and it was registered
as the Scott's Emulsion trade mark.

THE ROMANCE OF THE
BEST KNOWN FISHER
MAN IN THE WORLD

From early childhood this fisher
man has been familiar figure, yet
few know the circumstances that
brought him into use as a trade
mark. AS the record reads, over a
third of a century ago one of the
founders of the house of Scott &
Bovine, while on one of his annual
trips to the Land of the Midnight
Sun to select and purchase supplies
of pure. Norwegian cod-liver oil
which has always been the basis of
the merit of Scott's Emulsion, had
his attention attracted to a strong,
robust Norwegian fisherman, on the
shore of one of the Lofoten Islands.
