Arnold Advertising Card Collection. Not all are numbered as this one was. Series trade cards led to something most of us have enjoyed in the 20th century--comic strips! Ben Crane focuses on this evolutionary development and gives several examples on his page, "Series Trade Cards."  Crane identifies 32 series, including "A Policeman's Day." His article is one of many listed on the Trade Card Place's page " Articles About Trade Cards ." Another card for Button's is on pages 6 of the Earl J. Arnold Advertising Card Collection .  For additional information on Button & Ottley,  see page 129 of the Earl J. Arnold Advertising Card Collection...
