Advertisement for Kelly Bros., dealers in Staple and Fancy Dry Goods, located at 24 Sixth Street (between Market & Mission), San Francisco. The front features an illustration of a child in a blue dress swinging within a large horseshoe heavily adorned with pink and white roses. To the right, an elf-like figure in a red cap and pants teases a small brown dog with an object. The reverse promotes Ball's Health Corset, claiming it 'yields readily to every respiration', 'will fit perfectly a greater variety of forms', and is 'Pronounced by the Medical Profession NOT INJURIOUS to the WEARER'. Kelly Bros. are identified as sole agents for the corset. A faint, red circular overprint on the reverse contains the text 'DEALER'S NAME STAMPED HERE'. |
