Antique Advertisement Opening Day 1908 Ruggles & Ellison Store

Description

Attractive antique cardboard advertising sign "Opening Day, October 9th, 1908 Very Glad to See You. COME AGAIN RUGGLES & ELLISON North End Branch: 1099 Acushnet Ave.
Main Store: 191 - 197 Union Street
NEW BEDFORD MASS."
Measures 11 inches high by 5 3/4 inches wide at the widest point. Depicts a country scene with a thatched cottage, trees and a pond with swans, bordered by lavender ribbon and violet flowers . Made of sturdy cardboard. Colors are very good. Two small signs of wear: one on the right edge about 3 1/2" up from the bottom, and the other on the bottom violet flower on the lower right edge. Overall, very good antique condition, especially considering that this piece is over 110 years old. Would be very attractive if framed. Please see all pictures and feel free to ask questions.
