Peter Spath's Livery, Sale, and Exchange Stables, Dillsburg, Pa.
"Peter Spath's Livery, Sale, and Exchange Stables. Horses, carriages, and buggies supplied on short notice. Prices reasonable. Office rear of Central Hotel, Dillsburg, Pa. T.C.W."

According to an entry on the Find A Grave site, Peter Spath (1840-1920) emigrated from Germany at the age of 16, became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1881, and worked as a blacksmith.

As his business card (above) indicates, he also ran a stable in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania. The back of Spath's card (below) lists the distances from Dillsburg to other nearby towns in Pennsylvania.
