DescriptionBlack and white background with an image in color and text in white, red, and yellow. The lower part contains a grey strike box below a black background with "Steak House" in large white letters and the address on Central Avenue in yellow. An image of a black and white cow in front of a yellow background is below the cursive red text of "Hardy's" and this is flipped above the top section with the only difference being there is no text except for matchbook safety information. The reverse contains blue and white backgrounds with white and red text, respectively. The upper part repeats the title cursive font and describes the amenities in red above a blue central banner with a phone number in white. In the center of the lower part is a "Jewelite Match" circular logo and manufacturing information. Hardy's Steak House was located at 4108 West Central Avenue, Albuquerque, New Mexico.On View
