Trade Cards
A collection of colorful late 19th century and early 20th century trade cards featuring a wide range of design and illustrations. Almost all feature designs and illustrations that were available nationally with an added printed local company name, address and description of services. They are larger than today's business cards and were widely used as advertising by local businesses.
