The Curtis Publishing Company, founded in 1891 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, became one of the largest and most influential publishers in the United States during the early 20th century. The company’s publications included the “Ladies Home Journal” and the “Saturday Evening Post”, “The American Home”, “Holiday”, “Jack & Jill”, and “Country Gentleman”. In the 1940s, Curtis also had a comic book imprint, “Novelty Press”. The company declined in the later 20th century, and its publications were sold or discontinued. It now exists as “Curtis Licensing”, which licenses images of and from Curtis magazine covers and artwork.
It was founded by publisher Cyrus H. K. Curtis, who published the “People’s Ledger”, a news magazine he had begun in Boston in 1879. This card, maybe published by the Curtis Company, and chronicles the “Womens Recreation Room”, which I assume was for the employees.
The card is in good condition with minor wear and a clean, clear image. The reverse is clean but for some ink stains.
