EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage trade card from the late 19th century showcases an American advertisement for Hires Root Beer. The captivating image features a young girl, exclaiming with surprise and delight, "What! Never tasted Hires Root Beer? You've missed a treat. We keep it here". This charming merchant trade card, dating back to around 1880, is a testament to the early days of advertising in America. The artwork on this trade card captures the essence of excitement and curiosity surrounding this popular beverage at the time. The vibrant colors and intricate details draw attention to the young girl's expressive face as she encourages viewers to indulge in the deliciousness of Hires Root Beer. During this era, such trade cards were commonly distributed by merchants as promotional tools. They served not only as advertisements but also as collectible items that customers could display or exchange with others. This particular piece reflects both cultural history and marketing strategies prevalent during that period. Preserved by The Granger Collection in New York, this print offers us a glimpse into American society's fascination with novelty drinks like root beer during the late 1800s. It serves as a reminder of how advertising has evolved over time while still maintaining its ability to captivate audiences through visually appealing imagery and persuasive messaging.
