Old advertising card for Frank J. Murphy in Baltimore


This is a neat advertising card for Frank J. Murphy, which was located at 415, 417 and 419 West Baltimore Street in Baltimore, Maryland. It appears that the store, which dealt in household goods, was in its heyday around 1900. Here is the voluminous message that's printed on the back.

MANY IMITATORS, BUT NO COMPETITORS.
$50 Worth of Goods
$1 CASH, $1 PER WEEK

THE OLD RELIABLE INSTALLMENT HOUSE OF
FRANK J. MURPHY
Still Holds Fast to Its First Principles of
HONEST DEALINGS WITH ALL,
Guaranteeing All Goods as Represented and Giving More
Liberal Terms than any other Establishment.
WE HAVE THREE LARGE FOUR-STORY WAREHOUSES FILLED WITH

HOUSEHOLD GOODS OF EVERY DESCRIPTION.
To enumerate the stock in our many departments would occupy too much space.
We will simply state that we have

FURNITURE, CARPETS,
MATTINGS, OILCLOTHS,
REFRIGERATORS,
BABY CARRIAGES
And Housefurnishing Goods of all kinds.
EACH DEPARTMENT BEING SEPARATE AND DISTINCT.
We have a larger stock and a Greater Variety of Styles than will be found in any one establishment in the city, which we offer you ON INSTALLMENT AT CASH PRICES.
GIVE US A CALL.
We do exactly as we advertise. Make and lay all Carpters, Mattings and Oilcloths Free of Charge.
