Heeling Out!

Rare and unusual trade card from Freeman Hardy and Willis @1900?

The shoe retailer was established in 1875 and was named after three employees of the company. For many years, there was a branch in nearly every town in the United Kingdom. In 1929 the company was acquired by Sears.

Dandy Shandy, 1910 'rugby' advertisign sign

"Down goes the thermometer, Down goes Dandy Shandy" claims this 1910s lithograph advertising sign for "Dandy Shandy".
*
The Sign is likely English or possibly Australian. “Shandy” is still a popular drink today in many former British colonies. It is quite delicious and tastes like a combination of beer and ginger ale.
