The Watkins Man

J.D. Reeder, Marysville, Ohio.This is how it reads. Outstanding circa 1910 real photo post card. Horse drawn delivery wagon with products sitting on ground beside wagon. Wagon marked WATKINS on the sides. This is how the rear of the wagon reads. J. D. Reeder, Marysville, Ohio. Agent for J.R. Watkins Medical Company. Winona, MN, USA. You can also see a WATKINS sign on the house, behind the wagon, this evidently being the place of business out of which Mr. Reeder works in Marysville, Ohio. Man, woman and boy in front of horse, most likely Mr. Reeder and his family.

I found some interesting info that my grandpa was a traveling salesman for this company in the 1940's. I found his draft card on line. I can't make it all out, but here is the link :https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-25015-5261-69?cc=1875142
