Title: One three-color card advertising the New Home sewing machine
Description: 1885? One three-color card advertising the New Home sewing machine. The card is titled "The Monkey and the Cat's Paw." 3" x 5". Unknown source and cost.

As in the other cards with this design, the monkey works the foot-treadle with "New Home" clearly stated in its metal-work. The cat sits atop the sewing machine. Is his paw caught in the machine? A Victorian woman enters the room with an arm upraised; her small son is behind her. Surprisingly, the manufacturing company is now located not in Union Square in New York but rather in Orange, MA. The verso advertises L.W. THompson of Cherry Valley, NY as a seller of the New Home Sewing Machine. Again in this card as in the Union Square card, the reds of the wallpaper and the floor stand out.
Date: 1885?
