The E171 Henry Heide Candies Great Americas set is a set of (7) strips of four cards and an 8th strip picturing the Hall of Fame of Great Americans and George Washington. The set pictures 29 of the Great Americans. The cards measure 5" Wide by 1-5/16" High. The Hall of Fame of Great Americans is an outdoor sculpture gallery located on the grounds of Bronx Community College (BCC) in the Bronx, New York City. The 29 pictured represent the election of 1900. In 1905, eight additional subjects were added so it is likely the set was issued sometime after 1900 and before 1905.
This single E171 Heide's Hall of Fame For Great Americans card features George Washington with an image of the Hall of Fame. It is the only strip in the set of (8) that doesn't have (4) different subjects and obviously meant to highlight the importance of George Washington to the story of America. The card has been graded by SGC as 1 or Poor but looks better than that.
