"The 7 and 8 Puzzle" is on the front of this multiple advertising trade card. The directions: The solution of this puzzle is to cover 7 of the 8 points as follows: Take a penny, place it on any star, move it along a straight line to the opposite star and stop. Then another, and so on till seven stars are covered. Always start from a vacant star; never move the same penny but once. The reverse has advertisements for six companies from Lockport:
