Title

Couple Makes Call with Cats on Telephone Wires

Description

The card, printed into black and white, is divided into three sections. In the far left is a man in a suit, sitting at his desk using an old-fashioned two-piece telephone. Printed below are the words "HE - There's an awful buzzing and yelling dear but not a sound of you." On the far right the woman, standing dressed in a long white dress, answers, "SHE - Yes dear that's so it sounds like a chorus of cats - o dear! I wish they'd give us a chance." In the middle section, three cats are fighting on a series of telephone wires, suspended over a city of houses.
