This trade card advertises Werner's Clothing House, located at 187 Main Street, Danbury, Connecticut. The card promotes their Spring and Summer Clothing for men, youths, and boys, emphasizing that they are "the LARGEST IN DANBURY" and offer "every variety of pattern and quality, all of the LATEST STYLES." The front of the card features a detailed illustration of a stag in a forest, functioning as a "French puzzle card" with instructions to "LOOK FOR THREE FACES" and to "IF YOU CANNOT FIND THEM HEAT THE CARD." The typography on both sides is characteristic of late 19th-century advertising, featuring varied and ornate fonts.
