I know the text is too small to read. The jist is that this is card number 1 of a series of 50 cards depicting the sports and past times of 50 countries. Mine is the US. The text on the left just tells how to grind your coffee and such. The bottom left says "Arbuckle Bros New York City". The right side talks about the photos on the front of the card (in this case baseball, circus,etc).
Now here's where I got stupid. The box I was looking in had at least 250+ post cards and other paper stuff from the 1860's-1910's. It was my first stop and I didn't have much time or cash so I offered the guy $50 for the whole box (pretty generous of me huh?). I figured I could tote it home and go through it later. He said no but that I could have anything in there for $1 each. I hurriedly went through and got about 25-30 pieces. What I didn't get were the other at least 20 of this Arbuckle series. Actually the entire set may have been in there.
