Here we see a 1915 Die Cut Calendar with full pad still attached is a Chromolitho. It was given compliments of the Will & Baumer Company, candle manufactures in Syracuse, New York. It is a Catholic Feast and Fast Day Calendar and was copyrighted in 1888 and 1914. Many companies gave out calenders as promotional Christmas gifts. Some companies still do. The image of altar boys wilrg candels was a very idealized depiction of Catholic altar boys. While the vestments may be accuraetly depicted, we have not noticed actual altar boys with hair like this in eother the 1880s or 1010s.
