# "Votes for Women" chocolate label, Pennsylvania Chocolate Company (1915)

A plain printed label reading 'Votes for Women', 'Chocolate Extraordinarie', with a copyright line and the maker's name and manager. The tell: a cause slogan sells a food product, which treats the slogan as a mark of up-to-date taste.

A commercial label registered in 1915 for the Pennsylvania Chocolate Company of Pittsburgh, designed by Earle R. Marvin, which prints "Votes for Women" beside "Chocolate Extraordinarie". It is a product label rather than a campaign item, and the record does not say whether the firm supported the cause. The archive tags bandwagon: a cause slogan is used to sell a food product, treating the slogan as a mark of up-to-date taste and as evidence of the cause's reach in a year of four eastern state referendums.
