Lower Broadway, NYC

Description

Image of Lower Broadway (in New York City) showing Trinity Church on the left and the American Surety Building on the right. As with trade cards with drawn images of children and birds, the advertiser here chose a photograph of New York on which to promote his paint store. R. Hudson, Vergennes, had printed under the photo not only his name, but this message: "4 gallons L.&M and 3 gallons oil make 7 gallons superb paint at $1.23 per gallon. Results guaranteed. The card was addressed to Mr. Ira Brydia, Vergennes, Vermont, RFD #3 and sent in 1908.
