I bought a pretty little Victorian business card at an antique store recently. The information on the card is: "JOSEPH L. BATES 13 1-2 Bromfield Street Photographs, Views, Picture Frames, Illuminated Cards, &c., &c., &c." There is no city or state listed, so I was hoping to find out where his business was located. It's a very pretty card about 4 1/4" x 2 1/2" and is adorned with lovely flowers. Looks Victorian. I am a Bates descendant, although this isn't an ancestor that I know of, but the name caught my attention! Julie
