Here is the front page of a two page advertisement for the Temple Theatre in Houlton, Maine.

For more information, see Peck’s Bad Boy with the Circus 1938

Here is another advertising flyer. This one is from the Fulton Opera House in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. In operation since 1852. See: Full History – Fulton Theatre

It is 8” x 5” and has four pages, two of which note the Peck’s Bad Boy movie. Other movies noted are “Gridiron Flash”, “Most Precious Thing in Life” and “Transatlantic Merry Go Round”.

I have seen two cigar boxes that highlight Peck’s Bad Boy.

Harris & Balkeley
I know nothing about this cigar company. Interestingly the box has the picture on the top of the box and inside the box of “His Pa is ‘Nitiated”. This illustration is on card #7 as seen above. It is therefore likely that these cigars were part of the Peck’s Bad Boy card promotion.
This item is probably from the 1880’s.

Peck’s Bad Boy Cardinals
This box appears to be generic except for the Peck’s Bad Boy name. “Boîte Nature” refers to the type of cedar box the cigars came in. No date has been established.

George Peck remained active in local Milwaukee affairs after his political defeat in the 1895 governor’s race. This item shows his involvement in 1895 as one of the Civilian Encampment Officers.

Roland’s book store was located at 625 Penn St. in Reading, Pa.
On these dates in 1895 the Atkinson Comedy Company presented “Peck’s Bad Boy” at the “Grand Opera House”

Below is a trade card advertising the play. Also here is a clipping from the Reading Times – Saturday December 21, 1895.
