Trade Card: Eben & Berckowitz, Clothing Merchants, Newark, New Jersey
This trade card advertises Eben & Berckowitz, clothing merchants located at the corner of Broome Street and Springfield Avenue in Newark, New Jersey. The front of the card features a humorous cartoon depicting a woman, possibly a shopper, labeled "The Shopping Fiend That Takes the Surplus." The illustration is likely meant to be lighthearted and eye-catching. The style of the cartoon and the overall design suggest a late 19th-century origin. The back of the card is blank. A note indicates that the card was on display at a Library of Congress Exhibit in Cincinnati during 2005 (AJA).
