This die-cut cardboard sign, dated 1891, in the lower left corner, advertises Horn & Rodenheiser, a proprietor of Dry Goods, Notions, and Fancy Goods. It reads “Opening Souvenir” along the top edge, so this advertising was a giveaway during that time. The scene depicted shows school girls in the snow with the ones in the back starting a snowball fight. Each girl is dressed in vivid colors, making the piece appeal to your eyes. Dogwood blossoms frame the girls, with an artist paint brush below them. The cardboard piece measures 10 inches wide by 7.5 inches tall. 16982-71ETP
