Description

Color: Blue; Brown; Green; Red; Yellow; White A trade card advertising Pearl shirts, issued by H. B. Fox of Los Angeles, 1885. The front has a color illustration of three girls and a cat in a parlor. Between the girls and a white cat is a trade mark for Pearl, probably in place of where a toy might be in the illustration normally. On the reverse is a calendar for 1885, below which is the name and logo of Pearl shirts, and the name of Fox, a dealer in dry goods and apparel, and his address. With slight abrasions at the corners, a bottom left corner crease, light soiling, and slight yellowing, the overall condition is good.
