Jasper County Democrat, Volume 2, Number 38, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 December 1899 — QUEEN VICTORIA'S CHRISTMAS PRESENT TO TOMMY ATKINS. [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

QUEEN VICTORIA'S CHRISTMAS PRESENT TO TOMMY ATKINS.

Each of these boxes contains half a pound of fine chocolate. The Queen herself chose the design for the cover, which is enameled in red, with the embossed medallion in gold. As soon as the 90,000 boxes were made, the dies were broken, so that no one but Tommy Atkins-at the front may have one of the boxes. The present cost the Queen about $15,000.
