Trade Card: A. Rubenstein's Cheap Boots & Shoe Store, Philadelphia
This trade card advertises A. Rubenstein's Cheap Boots & Shoe Store, located at 455 North Second Street. The front of the card features a whimsical illustration of an elephant carrying a banner that reads, in large, bold letters, "RUBENSTEIN'S CHEAP BOOTS & SHOE STORE." The text is also printed in German below the English text. The image is likely meant to attract attention and convey a sense of value and perhaps even a bit of whimsy, given the unusual choice of an elephant as a visual element. The back of the card is blank. The style of the illustration suggests a late 19th-century origin.
