AUGUST FRANK A MANUFACTURER, NOT A DISTRIBUTOR

Last week I asked, "Can anyone locate an August Frank advertisement
listing pop-out coins for sale?"  Dick Johnson writes: "Did you think
August Frank sold these items to the public?  Most medal manufacturing
firms prior to The Franklin Mint they manufactured these items for
their clients, who in turn sold to the public.

"Be that as it may, I would also love to see any August Frank
advertisement from 1892 (when August Frank himself came to America
and started his diesinking business) through 1973, when his sons sold
the business (incidentally, they kept the part of the business that
manufactured water sprinklers)!"
