Description: This Victorian trade card advertises Niagara Starch, distributed by Wesp, Lautz Bros & Co. of Buffalo, N.Y. and features a charming illustration of a young girl holding a box of the product. The girl’s innocent and attentive expression, combined with her holding the prominently displayed product, effectively captures the viewer’s attention, making the starch’s branding memorable. The front of the card prominently features the name "NIAGARA STARCH," while the product packaging showcases a playful graphic with a rabbit, reinforcing the product’s purity and quality as suggested by the tagline "the purest, the sweetest, the best." The back of the card mentions Hiram Carter, a general dealer in groceries, provisions, and crockery in Plainville, Connecticut, suggesting that the card was also used locally by retailers to promote the starch they carried.Historical Snapshots of America's Past Business Promotions.
