The Perfect Soda Cracker – Uneeda Biscuit – National Biscuit Company (which later became Nabisco).- This sign and countless other remnants from Maine to California was part of their one million dollar outdoor ad campaign of 1905. Check out this sign in the winter without the foliage and see what is revealed with various filters.
