This is Circa 1915....another cool card advertising Stetson without a hat present BUT does have a hat box! Don't we all get excited when our new hat arrives!'

I ALMOST did not add this as I do not actually have it...... but:
I purchased this over 2 months ago from a reliable dealer....it never showed up, they never got it back. T think it probably succumbed to a "mechanical sorter" the USPS uses and is notorious at destroying the thicker envelopes even when the envelope is labeled not to do so and "hand sort"....Sigh...
