Two colored cards advertising the Cleveland Clothing Company

Description

1920? Two colored cards advertising the Cleveland Clothing Company and picturing a boy about to throw a rock at a frog. $1 from an unknown source, with the extra copy in poor condition at the same time.

I enjoy the clever way in which "Cleveland Clothing Company" is worked into the curvature of the clouds on the picture side. The fable, not in Perry, is frequent in later editions as "The Boys and the Frogs." Here is James' version: "A TROOP of Boys were playing at the edge of a pond, when, perceiving a number of Frogs in the water, they began to pelt at them with stones. They had already killed many of the poor creatures, when one more hardy than the rest putting his head above the water, cried out to them: 'Stop your cruel sport, my lads; consider, what is Play to you is Death to us.'"
