5A Horse Blankets Are Great for Wear

5A Horse Blankets Are Great for Wear
"Dear Sir: Farmers and horsemen know that 5A Horse Blankets are 'great for wear.' That is why they prefer them to all others. See other side for name of your dealer. Yours respectfully, Wm. Ayres & Sons, Mfrs., Philadelphia."

Printed on the back of this advertising postcard: "Dear Sir: When buying horse blankets, ask for 5A Blankets and Robes, which are known as the best and strongest; always look for the 5A trademark. They are sold by R. J. Brophy, Waterloo. Buy 5A Square Blankets for street use, 5A Bias Girth Blankets for stable use, 5A Lap Robes for your own comfort."

Addressed to Mr. Thomas Martin, Waterloo, N.Y., and postmarked Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 13, 1908.
