A Stunning Display of Color and Design greets the lucky pedestrian passing by this fine lady. Featured on page 173 https://goo.gl/NQKvMx of the Earl J. Arnold Advertising Collection 1885, the outfit is so distracting, I doubt many saw the advertising sign on the tree!

    Look at all the colors in that dress is it made from the flour sacks?

    Kathy Lind This is a guess. The dress was most likely made from bolts of cotton cloth purchased at a local "fancy goods" store sometime in the 1880s. en.wikipedia.org - Bolt (fabric) - Wikipedia

Mary Anderson models the latest in subtle color and advertising (though we doubt she would ever wear a hat with this inscription). Born in 1859, we found no evidence this actress ever used "Eclectric Oil." This was a quack cure-all. See the comment below for all the ailments it was supposed to cure. #EmmaJanesFavoriteFashions #bestarnoldcards
