A kind of Business Cicards?

This 1882 Trade Card is appropriate for this Group: Smoke Business Card Cigars!

How very clever, Jeff. So if people meet you in the dark, they will never meet a stranger.

Just to throw in a little something different... Here is one of my personal cards. It is printed on glow-in-the-dark paper.

Very clever these 'Will Call' cards. Thanks.

Displayed here is a hybrid of sorts. It is called a "Will Call" card. Popular at the end of the 19th century, it was a Postcard, Business Card, Trade Card, and Calling Card all in one. Sent through the mail as a Postcard, this item shows the Business Card information in the upper-left hand corner. In the upper right is the Trade Card function, advertising the products carried. Below this is the pre-printed Calling Card, making the introduction and appointment. The card shown here is from the Boot and Shoe Manufacturer Lamkin & Foster of Boston,Mass. dated 1889.

This beautiful  c1800 business card (trade card) is for sale on eBay. Unfortunately the reverse side is not printed, so it's not a playing card.
