THE SUPER AUTOGRAPH ....MAY 17, 1938. THOMAS, DONALD AND JAMES GOODRICH, VENICE, ILLINOIS. RECEIVED A SURPRIZE IN THEIR MAIL BOX. AN ARTICAL IN THE ST. LOUIS GLOBE DEMOCRAT NEWSPAPER WAS WRITTEN ABOUT A HOBBY OF COLLECTING AUTOGRAPHS, I BELIEVE. THEY MUST HAVE ASKED POST DISPATCH ARTIST WALTER DAHLGREN FOR ONE. IN HIS LETTER HE STATES, DUE TO WORK LOAD AND ILLNESS, HES A LITTLE TARDI ABOUT ANSWERING THEIR REQUEST. HE SENT THIS BEAUTIFUL PASTE-UP.....HAND PAINTED, HAND CUT FROM CARDBOARD, A PIRATES CHEST, THAT UNFOLDS OUTWARD, WITH CLOSING LID, AND TINY LOCK THAT FITS THOUGH THE SLOT ON THE LID. 8 X 6 OVERALL SIZE.....ITS BEEN KEPT IN MINT CONDITION FOR 76 YEARS......ALL THE SCRIPT AND WRITING IS HAND INKED......WATER COLORS, NO PRINTING AT ALL. AN AMAZING AUTOGRAPH PACKAGE.....
