Hi PittsburghDirtDigger,​

The new century was celibrated as we would with tokens as I believe this to be one!

The 20th century was dominated by significant geopolitical events that reshaped the political and social structure of the globe: World War I, the Spanish flu pandemic, World War II and the Cold War. Unprecedented advances in science and technology defined the modern era, including the advent of nuclear weapons and nuclear power, space exploration, the shift from analog to digital computing and the continuing advancement of transportation, including powered flight and the automobile. The Earth's sixth mass extinction event, the Holocene extinction, continued, and human conservation efforts increased.

I would assume it's a tag that was attached to one of the company's products. They sold related items such as polishes as well as shoes.

This, from a Mount Carmel [Pennsylvania] newspaper dated 7th April, 1915
