Trade Card for Levy's Pawnbrokers

This trade card is for Levy's Pawnbrokers in Altoona, Pennsylvania. It features a four-page design, with two pages containing advertising and the remaining two pages showing a Christian story. The cards feature a mystery theme. The front of the card features a depiction of a man in a dark suit in a shadowy room. He is looking intently at something to his right, and there is a large, open book on a table to his left. The back of the card features a depiction of the Holy Family and the angel Gabriel announcing the birth of Christ. It appears the images on the card are the first two pages, with the third and fourth pages likely being advertising on the back. It is difficult to say if all four pages are related to the same business.
