The two center cards above shows what a salesman card looks like. The salesman would send these cards to his customers telling them when he would be visiting them. In this way his customers could get their orders ready. I have a half dozen of these cards from Kruse Hardware Co. They are on different cards of Cincinnati but the backs are all the same so I am only showing one of them.

Poker
Chip
The Valley Cigar Store was owned by Ike Hyams who was known as the "King of the Bookies" in Cincinnati during the 1940s and 50s. He also owned the Maple Club and the Linden Bar. This cigar store was known to have had a backroom where bets were taken and, as the poker chip above shows, bookmaking was not the only thing going on in that backroom. The bookmakers were run out of town in the mid 60's.

The above ad from 1903 is for a Carew barber shop. I do not believe it is connected with Uricho's shop. The words are slightly blurry but I believe you can make them out. A third barber shop, seen in the card below, was located in the arcade. The card was mailed in 1918.
