The Lipset theory behind the Howard square frame was that since his T204 contains his first name (actually "Geo.") like the other 6 square border cards, that he must have one, also. But that's a fluke. There are 6 people in the square frame group and they all have a connection to Worcester, MA which Howard did not have. No one has ever seen a square frame Howard, which at this point almost certainly rules out that one exists. It's a catalog error that has persisted for a long time, but that's all it is.
As a native, I must point out that it's pronounced "Wuss-tah". Any Hollywood actor chewing the scenery would get that right.
