Trade Card: Julius Saul, Clothier, Troy, New York


This trade card advertises Julius Saul's clothing store in Troy, New York. The front of the card (Image 1) depicts a whimsical scene of a dog gently rocking a baby in a cradle or basket. The style is charming and likely intended to appeal to families. Below the illustration, the address 324 & 326 River St. is clearly printed. The back of the card (Image 2) is a full advertisement detailing the extensive offerings of Julius Saul's clothing establishment, including ready-made and custom clothing. It mentions the four-story brick building, the custom department, and the expansion of the business over the years. The back also notes that in 1884, a branch store was opened in Albany's Music Hall.
