Attaboy Al. This set is intriguing, as it seems to further connect Felix Mendelsohn to cards issued in 1920-21. I look forward to the write-up. As I recall, the patriarch died in 1917 and the son in 1920, leaving one of the adult grandchildren to operate the business but with the estate and/or other related issues leaving Herpolsheimer in a state of flux. This might explain that the 1921 issue was not a high priority to the department store’s plans or that family members disagreed on its use for marketing purposes.
