Ghosty jack o lanterns on flying black cats, watch out!?! This bright, embossed postcard was published by Barton and Spooner in the early 1900s. I didn't know anything about this company, but I found out:
The company was established in 1892 by the craftsman, Harry L. Barton who manufactured wooden souvenirs. After the turn of the 20th century he took on Ralph Spooner as a partner in order to expand into commercial and art printing. They opened a factory together at 1133 Broadway in New York City. Though they printed calendars, maps and other goods there, most of their postcards were printed in Germany.
