This card was issued by D.B.HORN of Albany New York, as an advertising give away to promote theirCandies, Ice Cream Cigars and Tobacco. Ibelieve that they were a General Store as well as having a Soda Bar as theymention their Sodas and Sundays as well.The bottom of the back of the card also mention that the “Movie Stars onthe Reverse Side Seen at Colonial Theatre” which I imagine was the local moviehouse. This is an early example of crossmarking . I have not found this seriesrecorded in any guide that I am aware of (American Card Catalogue, Non-Sports Bibleect.). The front of each card feature a blackand white photographic image of a prominentmovie star at the time. Although there is no know exact date of issue it isthough to have been in the 1920’s when most of the actors featured in theseries were in prominence. The card measures 2 inches by 3 3/8 inchesapproximately. This Card features Clara Williams

The card has someslight edge and corner wear, but it isfree from major creases. I think it displaysnicely. I have scanned the front and back of the cardfairly large for you to be able to judge condition for yourself.
