Trade Card: D. Klein & Bro., Men's and Boys' Clothing, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This trade card, advertising D. Klein & Bro., features a comical illustration on the front of a tall man ice skating with the caption, “Low Bridge”. The image is likely intended to be humorous, possibly referencing the man's height and the challenges of navigating crowded streets or perhaps a popular form of entertainment from the period. The card also provides two addresses: 918 Market Street (next door to the New Post Office) and 4327 Main St. The back of the card is fully printed with additional advertisements and prices for various clothing items. This suggests the retailer had a fairly large selection of stock.
