Trade Card: J. Block's Clothing, Penn Yan, New York

This trade card advertises J. Block's clothing store in Penn Yan, New York. The front of the card features a charming illustration of two young girls in red dresses, one of whom holds a fan. The girls' attire and the style of the illustration suggest a late 19th-century context. Below the image, the text promotes the store, urging customers to "For Bargains in Clothing Call at Block's," and provides the street address, "Jacob Street." The back of the card is blank.
