Gimbel Salesman's schedule reminder postcard....LOVE the "I will show my face in your store" with the GIANT Hat covered face image!!!!:D This is postmarked 1921 from Henderson KY. Gimbel stuff is rare as hens teeth and consequently it is hard to find out anything about them.........I have only a few references in my collection including this....

Cool find, Mark. A retailer would remember that card.
 
Here are some German Poster stamps, Two for hatters (each has a blank space for hatters to stamp their info), a third I THINK is for a hatter ??(I need a translation for this one) and a fourth advertising a movie which features a man in a Tyrolean......Circa 1915. I especially like the first one featuring a hat shop......

{I just did a google translate and the third does indeed advertise for Brown's Discount Market and their Top Hats and indicates you "are a wretch if you don't own one"!!!!!:D}​
