Trade Card: Florsheim Bros. Shoe Manufacturers, Chicago, Illinois

This trade card advertises Florsheim Bros., shoe manufacturers. The front of the card features a charming illustration of a boy dressed in a period costume reminiscent of the 1780s. He is depicted in a style that might be considered whimsical or slightly anachronistic within the context of late 19th-century advertising. The back of the card is a full advertisement providing the business address: 85 E. Madison Street, Chicago, opposite McVicker's Theatre. The card notes the founders of the famous Florsheim Company.
