Trade Card: Yondorf Bros., Clothiers, Gents' Furnishers & Merchant Tailors, Chicago, Illinois

This trade card advertises Yondorf Bros., clothiers, gents' furnishers, and merchant tailors in Chicago, Illinois. The front of the card depicts a child sliding down a banister. The back of the card contains a full advertisement, including the business's multiple addresses: N.E. Corner of North Ave. & Larrabee St., and Corner Blue Island Ave. & 14th Street. The card also notes that they had a Bell Telephone in use (although the number isn't listed). The style and the mention of the Bell Telephone suggest a date between 1879-1881, although the card's suggested date is circa 1885. There is a misspelling of "Furnishers" on the card, reading "Furnischers."
