One circa 1940s-1950s business card for the Red Rooster Tavern at 702 E. Main Street (Topside) in Norfolk, Virginia. The card advertises the tavern as the "Coziest Tavern In Town" and "Just The Place To Meet Your Shipmates." The reverse side of the business card features an illustration of a figure with a mouse's head and voluptuous female body staring at a piece of cheese on a mousetrap. The caption reads, "I don't want even a little piece cause you go off so quick and I get caught so easy."
