“Hallow Eve Party,” By the Young Men’s Society of 1st M.E. Church, at Iris Club Building, No. 323 North Duke St., Friday, October 30. Tickets, 10 cts. Pluck Print.
Among the fonts in use are Duerer (1880s) and Abbey Text (1895). The latter is very similar to Bradley (ATF, 1894) and perhaps based on the same lettering by William H. Bradley. There are at least two more unidentified typefaces. If you recognize them, let us know in a comment!

I’m just guessing here, but “AT” appears to be an OS Extended-style font, whilst “TICKETS” and “10 Cents” appear to be set in MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan’s Hansard.
Good suggestions! Added, thanks. Now the bold roman is the last unidentified one.
