Notes:
I Trager & Co. listed from 1887-1918.

There is no signature, but the style of the "OF" in "Cream OF Kentucky" is a tell-tale sign of George Truog's handiwork.

The company was being supplied by the Old Darling distillery of Prestonville, KY., but also lists the Peacock (RD #10, 7th District of KY) on its letterheads.

The "Creme de la Creme" brand was originally attributed to H. Hollander , listing in Cincinnati directories 1891-1902. Trager, who also registered the brand, list from 1891-1918. Presumably they took over the brand from Hollander.

The 64th and 66th annual reports of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce lists I Newton Trager and J Garfield Trager as being associated with this company in 1912 and 1914.

Brand names used by this company include: "Black Warrior", "Cream of Kentucky", "Creme De La Creme ", "Deerfield", "Edgemont", "Forest Hollow", "Old Colony Club", "The Black Warrior", "Tulip Rose", "Union Rye", and "Youghiogheny Malt."
