Trade Card: A. Feldman, Boots and Shoes, Pittstown, Pennsylvania

This trade card advertises A. Feldman's boot and shoe store located at 135 North Main Street in Pittstown, Pennsylvania. The front of the card features a sepia-toned illustration of a young girl, appearing thoughtful or perhaps slightly distressed, holding her head with one hand. The style of the illustration is characteristic of late 19th-century printmaking. The text on the front indicates the store's address and highlights the quality of the boots and shoes: "STANDARD SCREW FASTENED BOOTS AND SHOES...NO EQUAL...NATIONAL CARD." The back of the card (second image) displays a full advertisement, with a depiction of a shoe alongside additional text, showcasing a broader range of products or perhaps further emphasizing the store's commitment to quality.
