An unusual and attractive ceramic advertising plate from the C. L. Morang store in Ellsworth, Maine promoting the store and the recently opened Panama Canal. With a detailed map showing the Panama Canal, built to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Canal was officially opened on August 15, 1914, shortly before this plate was fired. With the Stars and Stripes above, the map is surrounded by the year's calendar - a useful, amusing and informative side-plate.
