This trade card features a political cartoon of James G. Blaine, a prominent Republican figure in the late 19th century, with the text "Vote for whom you please, but buy your clothing from L.

This trade card, issued by L. Hirschberg, a clothing merchant in Cambridge, Ohio, is a dual-sided advertisement. The front features a portrait of a political candidate, possibly from the 1884 election, with a caption encouraging voters to 'Vote for Whom You Please,' but to 'Buy Your Clothing from Hirschberg.' This suggests Hirschberg aimed to associate his business with civic engagement. The back of the card displays an advertisement for ordering cards to sell, indicating a possible additional business venture or a strategy to increase sales. The style of the imagery and text suggests a late 19th-century origin.
