For a similar Cheney business card by the same job printer (Pluck Print), see W. R. Cheney, Carriage Builder, Lancaster, Pa. See also a handbill for Carriages, Wagons, and Sleighs Repaired—Cheny's Repair Shop, Lancaster, Pa., ca. 1890.

The typography features Hansard caps set on a curve, French Oldstyle with larger initial caps, Archaic paired with R initials from Pynson, and Dante.

An elaborate business card printed by David Bachman Landis of Pluck Art Printery (later known as Landis Art Print) in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century.

The wavy, wiry vertical lines that Landis used to separate the “Special Attention” section on the left from the main “E. Oettel” portion of the card come from a set of “Capital Ornaments” dated 1891 that was available from the Barnhart Brothers & Spindler (BB&S) type foundry. Landis also used these separators in a number of other printed pieces. See, for instance, the following examples:

• Charles S. Frantz, Graduate Ophthalmic Optician, Watchmaker, and Jeweler, Lancaster, Pa.
• A. H. Herr, Mill Creek Dairy, Lancaster, Pa.
• J. M. Trout, Fire Sand Quarries, Landisville, Pennsylvania, ca. 1890s

BB&S also sold a set of “Brownies” characters that included the tiny owl in the upper left-hand corner.

Typefaces: Duerer (“Fancy Bakery and Confectionery”), Pynson (“All kinds of Cakes, Pies, Creams, Water Ices, and”), Hansard (“Home Made Bread”), Dante (“No. 506 Manor Street”), and Old Style Bold (“Lancaster, Pa.”). The unidentified typeface used here for “E. Oettel” appears to be the same as the one selected for “J. M. Trout” on the J. M. Trout, Fire Sand Quarries card [edit: it’s Eclipse Shaded].

A handbill extolling the virtues of the Singer Vibrator, which was advertised as a "new" sewing machine in newspapers and magazines beginning around 1888.

David Bachman Landis of Pluck Art Printery (later known as Landis Art Press) printed this piece.

“The New” uses caps from a French Antique/Clarendon Extended, and “Before buying” appears to be Latin Antique. “Singer Vibrator” is No. 500, which was first shown as wood type by William H. Page in 1890. “Lightest Running” is Egyptian Extra Condensed, while “Needles, Oil and Parts” is set in Pynson. There’s also a Ionic, Old Style Bold, as well as five more typefaces that have not been tracked down yet.

A. H. Herr, Mill Creek Dairy.
Pure milk and cream.
Lancaster P.O., Pa.

A late nineteenth- or early twentieth-century business card printed by David Bachman Landis, who operated Pluck Art Printery, which was later known as Landis Art Print. I haven’t uncovered any reference to a “Mill Creek Dairy,” but it's possible that “A. H. Herr” was Aaron H. Herr (1880–1940), a farmer who lived in Manor Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

The fonts in use are Gustav F. Schroeder’s Old Style Bold (Central Type Foundry, 1886) and Herman Ihlenburg’s Pynson (MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan, 1887). The same combination was used by Pluck Print for a ticket printed in 1894.
