the.bell

Design: The bell logo, with the ‘Rings Out Loud and Clear’ cutline can be seen in a different form on the Edison Bell Winner label.

The child to the left, dressed in a wide-collared suit and sitting on a three-legged stool, is nursery rhyme character Little Jack Horner (‘What a good boy am I!’), who shows the plum he has pulled out of his pie.

Probably the label was intended for the children’s market and sold through ‘dime-store’ outlets such as J. W. Woolworth’s.
