Trade Card - S. Meyers (Real Estate) / S. Meyers & Co. (Wholesale Clothiers), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, circa 1890

This double-sided trade card advertises two distinct businesses operated by S. Meyers in Philadelphia. One side presents "S. Meyers" as a "DEALER IN REAL ESTATE," offering services such as "HOUSES BOUGHT AND SOLD AND TO RENT," "MONEY TO LOAN," and "MORTGAGES NEGOTIATED." This side lists two office addresses: 10 North Third Street and 1535 North Eighth Street, Philadelphia. The text uses various bold and shaded serif fonts, giving it a formal and established appearance typical of late 19th-century business advertisements. The reverse side features "S. Meyers & Co." as "Wholesale Clothiers," located at "No. 10 North Third St., Philadelphia." This side employs an elaborate script font for the business name and an ornate, gothic-style font for the "Wholesale Clothiers" designation, common for decorative typography of the period. **3.
