Two scanned pages of chromolithographed advertising trade cards for Belding Bros. & Co., makers of spool silk thread. The cards show illustrated scenes, including a fire-service scene with a steamer and rescued people, a life-saving theme with the slogan "It will bring them safe to shore," and a girl standing on labeled spools of thread. The cards are pictorial advertising with little text and no technical textile content.
