RARE 1930-40 SET FLOCANE AFRICAN AMERICAN FLORIDA SYRUP ADVERTISING LABELS, INFO

Description

This listing is for a really rare set of African American history, bottle labels! There are 11 paper pieces, all for "Flocane" - Florida Sugarcane Syrup. There are 9 gummed bottle labels, an advertising flyer and a Florida Growers box mailing label. Included are 18 pages of photocopies of information about the extension service in Florida during the Great Depression, specifically this African American Extension Service, which was separate, and not at all equal, to the Florida Extension Service.It includes a lot of information about AA Turner, it's first supervisor, installed in 1917, and Floy Britt, a woman who should be recognized as a female leader during the time when African Americans were at the bottom of the social ladder, with women at the VERY bottom. The articles and labels span the years of 1930 to 1948. AA Turner studied at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, established by Booker T Washington. In spite of being given only about one tenth the amount of the white extension service, Mr. Turner (working out of Florida A&M) made the extension service a resounding success. One of their biggest successes was "Flocane" - grown and made in Florida by the African American farming community. There is a copy of a rare letter of commendation to Mr. Turner about the syrup, and a hard to see copy of the New York Worlds Fair exhibit.
