5. Insurance Man. A 'Bamforth' Comic postcard that says "I'm the Insurance Man, Madam -- I called to see if you are fully covered." The suited man sticks his head in the door to the shock of a bathing blonde lady whom we see from the back. The term "to call" refers to dropping by in person, and is still commonly used in parts of English speaking Europe. This postcard was sent from Chicago to Pennsylvania in 1945 with a 1-cent stamp. It reads, "Having a swell time in Chicago. Will be seeing you soon. - Kathie." It was sent to Ed Lasky. The Postcard was published by Bamforth co. in NYC, as No. P-3.
