Two scanned pages of Victorian-era advertising trade cards for Brainerd & Armstrong spool silk and knitting silk. Page 1 shows four cards with engraved and illustrated scenes, including children playing tug-of-war with silk thread, and slogans such as "This Silk won't break!" and "For Good Luck use the Brainerd & Armstrong Spool Silk." Page 2 shows a chromolithographed card with a Statue of Liberty-like figure holding a red can labeled "Best in the World", standing on a blue can.
