They must have had huge mailboxes in 1907.

Kevin, for your list here is the earliest mention of the Dietsche set I can find. It is from October 2, 1907.

That was from the Detroit Free Press, they had one other similar ad that day as well. It seems to imply Dietsche had a Tiger window set up similar to the one LaFond's had.

These were in essence classified ads on the front page.

I can't help but to imagine Jim's Judicial clerk reviewing microfiche at the library. "Looking for Judicial Clerk who can type 70 words a minute, write complex briefs, and research rare postcards. Accepting applications."
