Summary
[edit]DescriptionOJGude.jpg |
English: Postmarked envelope with company cachet (kă-shā′) from 1914. Only known example in existence. The O.J. Gude Co. was then the world's largest outdoor advertising firm. A small section of the left side is missing, as evident in the street name "[Br]oadway." The wife wrote in pencil, "drawn by P.M." However, there is no way to absolutely prove that, as art credit nearly always went solely to Gude. The building should not be slanted. |
Date | The imprinted dark black stripe obscures a portion of the postmark (month included). Readable and unreadable parts follow: "T[imes S]q. Sta. 2 / N.Y. / [Aug] 23 / 7:30 PM / 1914." The Evening Post, Aug 26, 1914 p. 12 (2nd column); The Sun, Aug 26, 1914 p. 8 (4th column). The inserted month is most likely correct. That's because the addressee was then participating in a Sullivan County tennis tournament. The mixed doubles final was played on Aug 25, 1914. Miss Kingsbury–W. Halsey Wood defeated Mrs. Martin–Edwin P. Fischer, 5–7, 6–3, 6–4. |

Author | O. J. Gude Co. Printers' Ink, April 17, 1913 p. 38; Advertising & Selling, May 1913 p. 58. These two magazines show the cachet. Excerpt from both: "Our new executive offices in the Candler Building, 220 West 42nd Street, are appropriately located in the Publicity Center of America." |
Other information: Continued from the "Date" column. An envelope addressed by Paul Martin of the Art Department ("art Dept."). He couldn't get time off work. Hence, the couple were unable to compete together. She stayed at the Mamakating Inn in Wurtsboro (a section of Mamakating), Sullivan County, N.Y. in 1914. He stayed at the same place (while competing in the same Sullivan County Championships) one year later. This explains why two newspapers referred to him as being from Mamakating in Aug 1915.
