Trade Card - Charles Feder, Paterson, New Jersey, circa 1885
This trade card advertises Charles Feder, a leading clothier located at 217 & 219 Main Street in Paterson, New Jersey, circa 1885. The colorful illustration on the card depicts a humorous scene inside a clothing store: a man (presumably a tailor or proprietor) helps a young boy try on a new suit, while an older man looks on with a smile, and a woman seated to the right, holding an umbrella, watches with an expression of surprise. The tagline below the image reads, "WHY JOHNNY I HARDLY KNOW YOU." The card features typical late 19th-century lithographic artwork with a detailed interior showing shelves of hats and clothing. The reverse side of the card is blank. **3.
