Internet image capture.  Please contact us if this is your tray and you would like credit.  Meek & Beach Co. stock tray No. 44, "Coffee Drinkers.'  Manufacturing notes indicate this tray was produced between 1903 and 1910.  Most likely Daniels was able to use existing stock images M&B companies had and they commissioned the work early in their name change to Chas. H. Daniels Brewery, perhaps to celebrate the name change.
