This large cardboard display – likely a piece of advertising material for Ihling Bros. Everard Company – presents fabric swatches organized by color, weight, and fiber. The swatches featured are from the Hamburger Woolen Company, a fabric manufacturer from Long Island, New York in operation from 1940 to the present. At the time this display was produced, Ihling Bros. offered its uniforms and other textiles in multiple varieties of fabrics.
