3 1/4" x 5 1/2" postcard showing photograph of 5 Rappal Brothers (John, Fred Sr., Symon, Lawrence and Fred Jr. = "The Royal Flush") on one side and business information on the opposite side. The Rappal Bros. & Company Live Stock Commission was a company at the Union Stock Yards in Chicago that dealt with the sale and management of livestock, typically functioning as a commission firm, acting as intermediaries between livestock sellers and buyers. They became part of the commission during a time when the Union Stock Yards were a major hub for livestock trading in the United States. Light soiling to business information side of card and with minor wear to the extremities. Very good.
