Description
Illustrated trade card promoting the Traymore hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey and depicting two Japanese women walking in opposite directions. Shows the women, attired in kimonos and holding parasols, walking on the grass. In the right is a partial view of a fence and part of a roof with geometric designs along the side.

Notes
Title from item.
Date inferred from dates of operation of the advertising business.
Advertising text printed on verso: “The Traymore,” Sea end of Illinois Avenue, Atlantic City, N.J., Will re-open for the reception of guests June 1st. The House, situated at the sea end of Illinois Avenue, containing upwards of seventy apartments and being one of the nearest to the beach (which is within 100 yards), with nothing to obstruct the view, gives it the advantage of having more pleasant Ocean rooms than any other house of its capacity in Atlantic City.
Cataloging funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (PW-506-19-10), 2010-2012.
