Mennen's Sure Corn Killer [inscribed]

Description:
One side of the card displays a colorful illustration of a man and a woman riding in a train or a trolly. The well-dressed man in top hat and coat is seated reading a paper, with his valise on the floor by his side. The woman, who is standing, carries a basket apparently full of vegetables from her marketing. She is looking sideways back at the seated man with a look of great annoyance on her face, and the heel of one of her boots is in top of the man's foot. He grins as if to say that he does not feel any pain. At the bottom of the picture is the line: Gent. I can support anything, I use Mennen's Sure Corn Killer. In the bottom right corner is a small inset with pictures of two feet, one labeled "before" and one labeled "after," to illustrate the effectiveness of the product.
