The Salesman—He Nags You Until You Must Buy
This vinegar valentine is a postcard that was addressed to H. W. Booser, 13th Street, Harrisburg, Pa. The card was postmarked first in Lewisberry, Pa., and then a second time in Harrisburg, Pa., on Feb. 14, 1908. Although the postcard was sent anonymously with no message or signature, it's possible that the recipient recognized the sender by the postmark or through the handwriting of the address.
As it turns out, Harry W. Booser lived at 121 N. 13th Street in Harrisburg, and he worked as a salesman, so the vinegary humor of the card was apparently directed at him.
The Salesman
His motto is still do or die
And he nags you until you must buy.
His line is complete
And his nerve hard to beat
But sometimes he goes on the fly.
Signs, etc., in illustration:
Office.
This is our busy day.
Samples.

85% discount to jobbers.
