Altoona City Band, Grand Concert Ticket, Altoona, Pa., February 16, 1888

Altoona City Band, Grand Concert Ticket, Altoona, Pa., February 16, 1888
"Grand Concert. Altoona City Band with the assistance of local talent. Opera House, February 16th, 1888. Tickets, 50 cents. Quick Charity and Hospital Fund."

A ticket for a charity concert held in 1888 by the Altoona City Band. Looks like the printer used a different typeface for each line on the ticket!
