A late nineteenth- or early twentieth-century business card printed by David Bachman Landis, who operated Pluck Art Printery, which was later known as Landis Art Print.
I haven't uncovered any reference to a "Mill Creek Dairy," but it's possible that "A. H. Herr" was Aaron H. Herr (1880-1940), a farmer who lived in Manor Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Typefaces: Old Style Bold ("A. H. Herr," "Lancaster P.O., Pa."), Pynson ("Mill Creek Dairy," "Pure Milk," "Cream").
A. H. Herr, Mill Creek Dairy.
Pure Milk and Cream.
Lancaster P.O., Pa.
