Civil War Store Card: A. & H. Alschuler, Men's Clothier, Ottawa, Illinois
Store token from A. & H. Alschuler, men's clothiers, issued in Ottawa, Illinois during the American Civil War (1861-1865). The card is dated circa 1863. This item, Fuld-660A-2a, R.3, is graded AU55 NGC. It is from the Donald G. Partrick Collection. Simon Alschuler, the younger brother and sometimes partner of Samuel D. Alschuler in Chicago, was primarily involved in the family's Ottawa clothing business. Tax assessments suggest he was also a photographer in Ottawa from 1862 to 1865. Some sources attribute to him photographs of the 1871 Chicago fire, although it was more likely his brother Samuel.
