I love old things, and the military stuff is very intriguing to me as well. I had this old little envelope that I found in one of the many scrapbooks that I have collected. As I looked at it closer today I noticed a picture of a Walter Lartz on the envelope. So, the search was on!<\/p>\n
Was this something the company did ever so often? Did they pick a random person from the War like this Lieutenant to put on the envelope? Then I noticed it said “100 Lartz” in the right hand corner. They are calling the corner tabs Lartz! This means the company name is Lartz maybe. So off on another search to see.<\/p>\n
Findings Things Make me Smile<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Lartz Company Advertising WW2 1942 Victory Photo mounting Corners! Well so far not much to go on. My Google search only brought up another envelop that sold on Ebay for ten dollars. On another search I found one that sold for $28.99. This one looked older and had no date on it like mine, but it gave me some new information.<\/p>\n The Lartz Plant, was in Suring, Wisconsin. This one didn\u2019t have War pictures on it and originally sold for 10 cents, for one hundred of the corners in the envelope. Another site had two of the envelops for sale but they both had different photos on them and no help at all as far as help with the company. So now off to do some reading on my trusty newspaper site.<\/p>\n Well, not fruitful at all with the newspapers. Over twenty newspapers on that site and absolutely nothing on the business that made the photo corners. So on to other sites. I did some more Google searches for the Lartz Advertising company and I\u2019m not getting very much at all. So back to the newspapers again to look at some advertising in Suring, Wisconsin and see what I can come up with. I did a search for the Lartz Plant, Lartz Advertising, Lartz Photo Mounts, and still nothing!<\/p>\n Back to looking for Walter<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
