Hal LewisI apologize if I already mentioned this earlier in this thread:
In the 1903 city directory for Louisville, it lists for the FIRST time a BUSINESS address for Henry Reccius Cigars (W. Market Street) as well as his "Elliott Street" residence address.
Thus, one would think that if the card was issued anytime AFTER 1903... it would have included his BUSINESS address and phone number as well (and probably ONLY his business address and phone).
Just another argument in favor of the card being from very early on.
