We are Braintree Agents for King Arthur Flour
”
Information about Mr. Loring and his ad shown here are from Braintree Directory 1905-6. The King Arthur Flour Co. was founded in 1790 in Boston by Henry Wood, but the name King Arthur Flour was
first
used as their brand name in 1896. We speculate that Mr. Loring is the gentleman holding the ball.
