Queen Olives

Description of Illustration: full color ad from early 1920s of Libby's Queen Olives, 

Text reads: Near Sevelle, Spain, the city where Columbus planned his voyages, live a people who have been growing olives for centuries--and standing there today are trees Columbus must have seen four hundred years ago.
      So wonderfully skillful are these people in olive culture, and so ideal is the soil and climate, the olives of Seville are the finest grown in all the world. Libby's Olives are the choicest of the crop--each a perfect specimen, picked one by one by hand--the selection of our own experts whom we send to Seville. order them for dinner tonight--a rare delight awaits you."
