This trade card advertises Hirshberg & Samuels, the "New England One Price Boot and Shoe House." The front of the card features a charming illustration of a young girl in a kitchen setting. The overall color scheme appears to be primarily blue. The text on the front clearly displays the business name and street address: "HIRSCHBERG & SAMUELS.......72 BANK STREET." The back of the card (seen in a second image) shows an advertisement with additional information, including "OPP. P. O." (opposite Post Office), suggesting the location of the store. This is one of two cards included in this record.
