Large business card measuring 4 7/8 x 3 1/2 inches. Printed on pink paper, it advertises Pitcher and E. E. Pomeroy (a jeweler), both of Lewiston. There is a window on the right and there is another card attached via a brad on the back of the pink card. Above the window we read "Our Next President" and below we read "If Not Your Choice Turn the Bottom Card Around." A portrait of Jas. A. Garfield is in the window but if one turns the rear card around the portrait is of his adversary W. S. Hancock. There are further printed ads on the rear card. Some aging but a very good example of this clever form of advertising.
