A Two panel Anti-Chinese Trade card promoting Smith & Co., a store located at 210 Chapel Street in New Haven, Ct.

n.p. (c. 1881). Approx. 11 x 6 cm. Narrowly trimmed along bottom. The first panel shows a man complaining about a shrunken and tattered suit, saying "I only wore this suit two weeks" while three Asians in the background sit beneath a caption identifying them as "Chinese Cheap Labor." The second panel show the entrance to Smith & Co. with men and women in front wearing sturdy, then fashionable clothing, presumably not made by Chinese workers. Very Good. Item #91321

Price: $75.00
