A Forbes Chocolate Co. ad in the May 14, 1903 IRON AGE shows this TRIUMPH FRUIT JAR WRENCH along with the T&B FRUIT JAR WRENCH (patent no. 688,224) and T&B FRUIT JAR HOLDER. June 1903 HOUSE FURNISHINGS REVIEW notes Forbes Chocolate Co. was also producing the PERFECTION Fruit Jar Wrench and PERFECTION Fruit Jar Holder. Another ad calls Forbes "Successors to TARBOX & BOGART." |
