This die-cut trade card for Z. Solomon, \"The Leading Clothing House of Tama County, Iowa,\" features a comical illustration. One man, holding a bucket labeled \"jokes,\" pours its contents into the head of another man, who has a finger to his lips. Below them, an artist's palette displays the business name and location. The card exhibits expressive, caricatured figures typical of late 19th-century advertising.
