Great Bender photo! Now that I have seen the original source, I like the no tree version even better. It always ranked second to me in the T206 trio (Portrait, no trees, and trees), but now ranks a higher second. Wouldn't it have been cool if they had kept the same orientation as seen in the photo and issued this card as a horizontal, with scoreboard and ads in background!

If it were still available on the market today, I would also on occasion use Zymole Trokey for husky throat too.

They did it to keep Bender collectors like me broke.

Seeing the big difference the two Benders makes me wonder how many different artists were involved in painting the color images that ended up on E- and T-cards from the 1910 era. Some of the E-card art looks truly terrible, while the better images like the Turkey Reds are worthy of being in museums.
