An interesting Advertising corner card cover with a couple of diverse products manufactured by the Gainesville Novelty Works.  This 1893 Gainesville, Texas advertising cover for UMBRELLAS, Rubber Stamps & Stencils has a bit of wear and tear.  This cover was postmarked on October 23, 1893 at Gainesville, Texas and addressed to the Condell Brothers in Portland, Maine with a Portland, ME. machine cancel on reverse.  This cover is franked with a 2ct Washington First Bureau Issue stamp Scott# 220 which is tied to this cover by a black oblong grid cancel.
