@tech549 (brian) is a Michigan resident who has bought out quite a few old shops. He owns a shop in Detroit. I think this was the one of the shops him and I moved stuff out of. I could be wrong. Hopefully, he will chime in. Cool business cards!

I'd say your cards are from the 40's or 50's. They sold Schwinn bicycles and were later called Jerry's Bike & Toy Store. It was owned by Jerry Navilia.

The illustrator had an interesting career. He was a balloon observer WWI, that was a dangerous occupation. Check out the Prestone Antifreeze ad using the same monkey's! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawson_Wood.
