Why do the children watch the skies when the stars peep out as the sunset dies? What is the secret the shadows hold? What is the legend the stars unfold? Hold to the light where no shadow bars, and read the answers in the stars. Hood's Vegetable Pills
Summary
Public domain photograph of American trade card, no copyright restrictions image - Picryl description
Trade cards were one of the most prevalent forms of advertising in the U.S. from around 1875 to 1900. They had their origin in England in the 1700s with tradesmen advertising their wares. The advent of lithography in the 1870s made it possible to mass-produce them in color. The Philadelphia 1876 Centennial Exhibition sparked the beginning, as many were passed out at that event.
