A trade card advertising the Lowe's Metallic Paint Company. The card features a lithograph of a muscular Father Time, with an hourglass across his chest, creaking his scythe across an American flag painted shield. The shield reads "This Shield is Painted with Lowe's Metallic Paint". In the corner, a red skinned, horned devil is throwing tridents at the shield. There is also a small shield in the corner and well as a group of soldiers firing a cannon at the shield, all implying that nothing can mar a Lowe's Metallic Paint job.
The rear reads:
