This trade card for Cohen & Marx, clothiers, features a charming illustration of a young child, possibly a rag muffin, playing a drum. The child is depicted in somewhat ragged clothing, adding to the quaintness of the scene. The image is likely intended to evoke a sense of youthful energy and fun. The text on the front of the card is visible in the provided image.

It is noted in the record that the store was destroyed in the Johnstown Flood.
