He looks more afraid of the haircut than he does of learning to fly. The unused card dates from 1943 and has been heavily handled over the years, but it’s intact. By the way, the caption tells us this particular style is called “The Classification Clip”. Grade: 3

Dallas, St. Paul’s Sanitarium
The facility is long-gone, merged, demolished, whatever — as related in part by a City of Dallas website excerpt: “The original buildings at St. Paul were demolished in 1968 following the completion and move to the Southwestern Medical Center Campus in 1964. Several other mergers followed and, in 2005, UT Southwestern merged with what was by then known as St. Paul University Hospital. The former site of the original St. Paul’s Sanitarium is now a residential neighborhood, but its legacy lives on.” This is an unused E.C. Kropp card 26898. Grade: 1
