Perhaps some of you have already seen pictures of Mr. Enos Gordon Goudey from other sources, but my own searching proved fruitless until I bought a subscription to the Boston Globe digital archives.

Here are two pictures from the Globe, each in the context of his presidency of the Canadian Club of Boston. The second was part of a larger cartoon featuring several eminent guests of the Club following Goudey's return from a trip where he shot a moose. (Perhaps it was seeing this second picture of himself in the paper that gave Goudey the idea for his 1938 set!)

I think I might have a seen a pic of him some time ago but regardless, thanks for posting. He was/is certainly important to our vintage hobby.

I just saw these the other week in the Archive, but it's great to get a face with the name.

I was actually looking for photos of the owners of the company in 1933. Goudey had stepped down by 1932 and by 1934, Leavy I believe was his name sold the company to start a brokerage firm. A guy named Bob Devlin took over and maintained Goudey from 1934 to at least 1941 -a photo of him would be quite nice.

Am coming up empty on searches for these gentleman. Ditto for Harold Clark DeLong. Will post later on if I find something though.
