View of the block house at Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island, Michigan. Printed on front: "Old block house, Mackinac Island, Mich." Printed on back: "Fort Mackinac, on an elevation of 133 feet, overlooks the city. It was removed from the town in 1780 after Pontiac's conspiracy and the original stone block houses, erected at that time, are still in their natural state. The picturesque parapets and block houses at the fort welcome all. An inspiring panorama is obtainable from this point. Mackinaw City is 12 miles distant on main land. Pub. by John H. Schwegler, Mackinac Island, Mich. Natural color postcard made in U.S.A. by E.C. Kropp Co., Milwaukee, Wis. (ELL)." Typed on back: "August 23, 1946. Dear Mrs. Rhodes. Expect to be home around Sept. 1st. It has been cool here ... and fine weather. But will be glad to get back in old Detroit. After all no place like your own home. F.E.L." Card is postmarked August 24, 1946.

‘Then there’s your head-assistant. Would he be likely to have sold any of them, do you think?’

‘Well, no, my lord; I shouldn’t think he would. He told me that he should keep them for his own use and for use on his own premises. He liked having the old name on them, you see. But for sale to his customers, he would have his razors marked with his own name. That has a certain value, you see, my lord. It’s only if you’re in a good way of business and can order in razors in three-dozen lots that you get your own name put on them. He started off very well with a new three dozen Kropp blades, for he told me all about it, and, things being equal, those are what he would supply his customers with.’

--Dorothy L. Sayers, Have His Carcase (1932), Chapter VI. “Evidence of the First Barber.”
