This trade card advertises Maurice A. Mayer, "The Globe" Clothier, located on Thirteenth Street opposite the Thurston Hotel. The business sold clothing, hats, and furnishing goods, promoting a policy of "Strictly ONE PRICE, and that THE LOWEST." The front of the card features a vibrant color illustration titled "The Return from the Insect Fair," depicting a beetle and a butterfly pulling a large beet on wheels, with ants and a flag reading "FIRST PRIZE BEET." The illustration is typical of whimsical advertising imagery of the late 19th century, while the reverse uses distinct, period-appropriate typography to convey business details. 3.
