This is a bright orange nineteenth-century business card for George Roch (1852-1913).

Long's Organ Factory, Lebanon, Pa. 174 Instruments tuned between February 1, 1885, and September 7, 1885.

Clara Bull of Andover , Kansas, used this business card to advertise the music lessons she offered in the early 1880s. Her name appeared in various newspapers during that time (see below). Clara Bull, Music Teacher, Andover, Kansas. Terms: $10 for Term of Twenty-four Lessons. "Miss Ota Johns of Pleasant and Miss Clara Bull of Sedgwick county were entertaining callers Saturday.

"Miss Clara Bull will instruct the youth of Alhambra this winter. We hope she will be as successful in this as she has been in music teaching." — Augusta News (Augusta, Kansas), Oct. 9, 1884, p. 8. Typefaces: Ringlet ("Clara Bull"), Lady Text ("Music Teacher"), and Program ("Andover, Kansas"). Thanks to Florian Hardwig for identifying and dating the typefaces (see his discussion of Clara Bull, Music Teacher business card at Fonts In Use). Since Lady Text was issued in 1884, Clara Bull's card must date to that year or later.
