I found this in a small town in minnesota in an empty lot. It looks like an advertisement from an old gas and plumbing company. Is there any value to it?

It looks like a piece is broke off the top...if so it could have been a watch fob.

Breezie got the date right. The Mueller Museum's August 1921 records mention a huge parade and the following :

The Salesmen.
The Mueller traveling salesmen formed another feature and was enjoyed by the spectators. At their rear marched the "chain gang," consisting of Bert Kitchen, R. E. Cartwright, Bernard Simonds, and George White, candidates for initiation in the '49 Club. They were linked together with a heavy chain, and around their necks hung various kinds of Mueller goods. At the head of the column was a banner reading "A Bath a 'Day—the Mueller Way." and another one inscribed: "We have had our bath today. Have you? And we are fit every way. Are you? We come "clean" from all parts of the country.
