Trade Cards: Compliments of Altman & Co., Clothiers, Hatters, and Furnishers, Buffalo, NY

This record contains two trade cards advertising Altman & Co., clothiers, hatters, and furnishers, located at the corner of Seneca and Ellicott Streets in Buffalo, New York. The cards encourage customers to "Buy your clothing, hats, and furnishing goods direct from the manufacturers and have retailers' profits." One card features an illustration of two girls sitting in front of a teacher in a blue dress, apparently engaged in a lesson. This image likely served as a visual element to attract attention. The text on the cards highlights the company's offer of 59-cent pants. The back of the cards is NOT ENOUGH INFO.
