They had over 2 million cards in stock. That is a lot of cards. And I wonder what the qualifications were to be a "Chief" card sorter? Did you have to be an "associate or junior" card sorter first?

It was David who posted it. I have trunks of old hobby pubs but so far David is keeping us busy (and it's appreciated).

Some more of mine will come out soon.

I have a ton more of this stuff going back to the 1940s, and have only been posting a few things that seem like they would be of interest to the board. The tip of the proverbial iceberg. I will keep posting as time allows. Leon, I appreciate all the old hobby stuff you've posted, too, especially the Card Collectors' Bulletins that I don't have (which I've saved electronically from your posts).

As we both know, in this part of the hobby (collecting old pubs), the further back we go the more rare they are. I have some more 1930s letters to post and lots more pubs too. I love this stuff and will post more In time....
