YOU WILL OPEN YOUR EYES: “When You see the crate crate of chestnuts owing to the fact that the Factory is very busy and back on orders. I could not fill your order sooner. Let me know wether you get them all O.K. We are well, A.D. Reading, PA” (I wonder if anyone else finds the character to be a bit scary? I have another postcard, designed by the same artist, with an even creepier face….with a grin full of teeth. I already used him in a mixed-media piece, though.)

May Your Eyes Pop On To The Good Things In Life.

The back was written in pencil, and everything below, “Hello Brother,” is illegible. I always thought this postcard was weird.
