Trade Card: M. Strasser & Co., Manufacturers of Fine Cigars, Albany, New York

This trade card advertises M. Strasser & Co., manufacturers of cigars and leaf tobacco in Albany, New York. The front of the card features a charming illustration of a young girl holding a bouquet of flowers. Below the image, the text reads, “SILK, The Finest Cigar.” The back of the card is blank. The card's design suggests a late 19th-century origin, aligning with the company's establishment date of 1852. A related billhead mentions that Benjamin Strasser was employed by the company, and Isaac M. Strasser served as vice president of a Jewish Men's club in 1899.
