I guess the owner of these cards was too cheap to buy a stamp. The signatures on back are nicely browned, black ink. They say " Save your tablet fronts and win a prize L.A. Becker"....sounds like a nice Jewish guy. Thought they were cool and somewhat unique....I guess I'll start collecting lowly "w" cards, a little bit ...regards all

I bet Mr. Becker wishes he had a photocopier! He wrote each one of those backs out individually. Sounds like an honest, hard working, confectionary-owner guy.

What is particularly Semitic about the item?

I have many nice Jewish friends named "Becker" back in Houston...that was my inference....later

Looking through my pile of random stuff...and seems I have one of these handwritten notes too on my Larry Doyle.
