Herpolsheimer's takes out full page ads blaring the name of their business in large type. . . but they didn't show the back of the cards in the ad. . . . which would have also had the name of the store . . . so that's somehow proof of what . . .? Last edited by Snapolit1; 11-25-2023 at 12:31 PM. |

A further note, according to an ad I found from 1922, Herpolsheimer's was celebrating their 52nd anniversary that spring/summer; so, they had been around since 1870. Also, according to the ad, Grand Rapids was the 2nd-largest city in Michigan, with a population of around 140K-150K, and Herpolsheimer's was the "greatest" store in western Michigan. So, they obviously didn't feel the need for much more than basic advertising.....everyone knew who they were, and where they were located; they started at one location, and then later, moved directly across the street. If you look on ebay, you'll also find Victorian era trade cards advertising their store. Also, thank you to everyone for the kind words; I greatly appreciate them. Steve

I wouldn't make too much of the address issue. After all, Brian posted a 1921 Standard Biscuit card he owns and it does not have an address on the back. It also has a border design inferior to the Holsum Bread card he posted. And the Standard Biscuit card is real...or is it?
