Trade Card: Friedberger & Strouse, Cloaks, Suits, and Wraps, Philadelphia

The image is likely intended to attract attention and associate the business with fun and lightheartedness. Below the illustration, the text clearly states the business name and two addresses: 113 & 115 North Eight St. and 733 Arch Street, Philadelphia. The back of the card is blank.
