Excellent, sharp, clean condition.

This is an unusually large die-cut trade card.

Opposite the Jordan Marsh Co. store.

A very unusual detail in the graphic design: This is an advertising trade card that uses another ephemera format within its design - The business card.

And - Please send me an answer: What is the word printed on the far left inside the shoe? Blurk? Blick? ? ?
          What does the word mean"

Beside selling ephemera, I curate a free-use public research ephemera archive in Brattleboro, Vermont. The Ephemera Archive for American Studies has over 300,000 pieces, early 1800's to present day, 60% dating pre-1900. Over 2,000 topics of American culture are covered.

If traveling in the Brattleboro area, you are welcome to call to come see the archive, 802: 380-5611.

I am always looking for information about business ownership, product history, family history, and immigrant background information. All such information, past to present, is helpful with my work in the archive.
