This trade card advertises Lippman Bros.' New York 25 Cent Store in Rutland, Vermont. The front of the card (Image 1) features a prominent image of a dove, rendered in blue. The text, partially obscured and seemingly inaccurate, reads "NEW YORK TEN CENT STORE"...and indicates a location on Center Street. This discrepancy might indicate a printing error or a later alteration of the signage. The back of the card (Image 2) contains a complete advertisement, providing the correct address: 38 Center Street. The back of the card is not blank and contains a full advertisement for the store.
