J. Shisler, Dealer in Family Groceries, Harrisburg, Pa.

J. Shisler, Dealer in Family Groceries, Harrisburg, Pa.
"J. Shisler, agt., dealer in selected family groceries, pure coffees, spices, and good teas, Third St. (opposite Opera House), Harrisburg."

This is one of a six-part "Comic Visiting" card series printed by E. Currier & Co., Boston (probably related to the Currier of Currier & Ives but I'm not sure how). Other cards show a woman trying to attract a cat with a saucer of milk, a man peering through his eyeglasses at an owl, and a baby dangling a cup or something else to get a dog's attention.
