M. J Farrell founded his business in Roscommon in 1905. For a long time it was known as The Souvenir House but today it is known as M. J. Farrell Jewellers.

 

Aidan Farrell, the present owner, is a grandson of the founder and the third generation in the trade. Over the years the business has changed and adapted to suit  prevailing economic conditions. Much ephemera has been produced including this example, a trade card for Rajar Roll Film.
