Advertising card for J. W. Jenkins' Sons showing a woman in a pink dress holding her hands as if she is playing a piano, but nothing is there but empty space.

The front also says: "For Sale By J. W. Jenkins' Sons, General Music Dealers..."" Front lower right corner says: "Hopcraft & Co. 'The World' Building N. Y." Back of card has image of piano and mirror image lettering that shines through the front of the card to read: "Story & Clark Organ Co., Chicago. M'F'R'S. Exclusively High Grade Organs. Largest Exclusive Reed Organ Concern in the World." Address given on front of card: 921 Main St.
