I have googled and come up with nothing.
Would appreciate any help.

Thanks Nick on the ID, wonder how old it is?
Found on one of the earliest sites on our farm.

All I could find was that their signs were made some 70 to 80 years ago...not anything on the company it's self
Lot's of repro stuff made about them now...signs mostly, a baseball cap

If you google Lay or Bust Dry Mash, you'll see stuff about them from 1915 to 1920's

My favorite Lay or Bust sign. I have one at home. Exploding chicken and all.

Lay or Bust was a feed company....

And at one time, feed bags were made of printed muslim and farm wives used them to make shirts and dresses...the thimble was, most likely, a give-away to customers...

I recall the bags being available into the mid 1050's...

Many of my sisters dress were made of those same bags.

Surely you meant 1950, atleast I hope so.

Thanks everyone!
