Trade Card: Berliner & Strauss, Manufacturers of Neck Dress, New York City


This extraordinary trade card from Berliner & Strauss, manufacturers located at 481 Broadway in New York City, advertises their "Gems in Neck Dress" for the Fall season of 1880. The front of the yellow card features three illustrations showcasing various styles of neckwear. The back of the card is equally fascinating, presenting the popular and electoral votes by state for the 1876 presidential election between Hayes and Tilden. Two additional blank columns are included, presumably for recording the results of the 1880 Garfield/Hancock election.
