Trade cards were used in the late 1800s as a way of advertising goods and services to a growing base of consumers. After the end of the Civil War commerce exploded and businesses sought new ways of inviting customers to visit their shops. The attractive cards were enhanced by the development of color lithography or multicolor printing.
————
In our collection is this trade card of Henry W. Prince which reads:
“Complements of H.W. Prince. April 16, 1881. New arrival of goods.
You are invited to call and examine.”
————
The H.W. Prince building currently serves as our Museum Gift Shop and Treasure Exchange
and we invite you “to call and examine”!
