Trade Card Advertisements





I thought I would take a break from the vintage photos today.  These are tradecards from the late 1800's.  They were given out free to customers to advertise products.

Nothing beats transportation by butterfly, I could really save on gasoline! These are all great cards, Cora, thanks so much. Their condition is so much better than what I've seen.

Wow, Cora, these are wonderful. I think my favorite is the frog - but I really like them all. Thank you so much for sharing!
