Here are more trade cards from Dan Sully’s Corner Grocery. Usually the trade cards were seen with one of a number of pictures from the play on the front. The backs frequently told about the play or even gave a specific location and/or date of the productions. These two cards note the location ” Wheeler’s Opera House” and the date. This was most likely the Wheeler’s Opera House in Toledo, Ohio.
