Artifact Overview
As color printing gained momentum in the late 19th century, trade cards became a major means for advertising goods and services. Americans enjoyed and often saved the little advertisements found in product packages or distributed by local merchants. The Michigan Stove Company frequently used trade cards to advertise its products, like this card advertising its most popular "Garland Stoves and Ranges" line.
