small upper corner crease only in sky, oxidation consistent with age. Rare.
Why? Probably taken in the off season, its lengthy docks are bare of boaters
& fishermen enjoying themselves. Why? If sent, the caption does not even
mention what state they are in, let alone what lake! Seriously, if you were
their customer and had a great time there, would you want this as
your memento? Advertising at its least effective & most ludicrous. Sold but front

paper memorabilia from this company is rare. The address exists no longer
but it was in what is now the Financial District of Manhattan. [We are aware
that there is a Pearl Street in Brooklyn but in 1882 Brooklyn was not a part
of New York City, so such a location would have specified Brooklyn in its
address, not New York.] Sold but front
