International Bridge EDMUNDSTON New Brunswick Canada 1917-34 Eastern Illustrating Publishing Co. Real Photo Postcard 3

Eastern Illustrating & Publishing Co. was founded by photographer R. Herman Cassens in 1909. He and his staff produce over 30,000 real photo cards printed in small lots to the thousands. They captured a niche market by publishing views outside of just one local area, and by providing photo cards to retailers in small communities who could not afford the price of printed cards. In 1947 the business was sold to Alton H. Crone. He stopped producing real photo postcards in the 1950’s and began printing photochromes. By the 1960’s they had sold off all remaining stock of real photo cards.  Their large distinguished logo appeared on cards published between 1913 to 1915. Similar but much smaller variations continued to be placed on their cards into the late 1930’s until they just started printing out their name. By the 1940’s they began using Kodak paper without the company name.
