3 Victorian Trading Cards, Shoes, Niagara Starch,Stove

Victorian trade cards include The Red Cross BEE cast iron stove with a picture of the stove on the back. Niagara Corn Starch with a little gal all dressed up in her Victorian ruffles and J.N. Cloyes for Fine Shoes with another Victorian lady dressed in furs and long ruffled gown. The back of this last card reads This celebrated and well know line of J.N. Cloyes, Ladies, Misses and Children's Utica fine shoes. All in good condition. Trade cards was the early form of retail advertising. I guess the dates to be in the late 1890's.
