A humorous illustration for Nicoll the Tailor featuring two caricatured men. One man, wearing a fez and long coat, sits on steps with a measuring tape extending from his eye. The other man, in a military uniform, aims a large bottle like a cannon. The back of the card advertises Nicoll the Tailor, 'Pioneer of Moderate Prices,' specializing in Middlesex Flannels, Hawthorne Cheviots, and domestic fabrics. It lists prices for pants and suits, and provides addresses in Pittsburgh, PA (88 Fifth Ave.) and New York, NY (620 Broadway and 139 to 151 Bowery). It also mentions 'Samples and Rules for Self-Measurement sent everywhere' and extended evening hours. |
