‘E.C. Kropp Co.’ Postcard (1940)

Öt éve már, hogy az Ecseri piacon rábukkantam az Elfoglalt ember levelezőlapjára (1. kép), amiről azóta kiderült, hogy rengeteg képpel gyártották, most pedig remélhetőleg meglesz az ötletadó amerikai sorozat egyik darabja, a Milwaukeeban működött E.C. Kropp Co. nyomdájában készült "Enjoying Every Minute Here – Too Busy to Write" golfozós kiadása (6. kép).
