From Fred & Ethel

a century of humour inscription

From Fred & Ethel

To Jim

Wishing you a very happy
Christmas & good new year

1934

Found by Jim Donahue who says:
“I found the book a few years ago at an antiquarian sale. It was overpriced, but
how could I resist that inscription? I figure it has to be from the Mertzes. How many
Fred & Ethels can there be? In 1934, they would have been 40ish and (I hope) relatively
happy.”
