This prohibition era card has a Union printing label, and was printed in Buffalo. The back has a funny novelty doctors prescription, which basically ends in the suggestion to go to Emil Brick's fine place, and have the bartender fix you up!

Definition of sample room: A room in which samples are displayed; especially a hotel room where salespeople display their merchandise for the inspection of buyers for retail stores.

This original old vintage business card is wonderful. It has rounded corners. This would have been Emil's personal advertising business card for his Buffalo NY area liquor, beer, tavern, bar or pub related business. This family has German ties, and this is a one of a kind item.

      Note: Hello from ~debra. I have spent years collecting over 10,000 ID’d lost family photos & paper from US flea markets & antique shops. I do the best gen research I can, but am always open to corrections. This is an original antique item, not a reprint. A new high quality rigid sleeve is included for extra protection, especially during shipping. You may buy a piece alone, or large intimate 300 dpi scans of the front and back sent immediately via email, or both. Please search carefully, as they are often found together and many may be related. I also invite you to join me at Ancestorville Genealogy on facebook. Thank you, enjoy! ~Debra Clifford (contact info on top bar)
