"Heaney the Magician. Good luck to you. Good luck. Heaney, World's Foremost Magician, and Company. Adults. Admit one. Heaney the Magician." This is the top portion of a 10-ticket sheet for stage magician Gerald Heaney (1899-1974), also known as "Heaney the Great."

"Bardens Carriage Co., Horse-Shoers and Wagon Makers, 41 Washington Street, West Orange, N.J. Telephone. Repairing. Painting." I haven't been able to find any trace of the Bardens Carriage Company, but I'm guessing that the company's horse of a different color on this business card had something to do with the town in which it was located. For some other farrier cards, see Lewis Kramer, Practical Blacksmithing and Horseshoeing, Pottstown, Pa. , and Fred Hollinger, Practical Horseshoer, Lancaster, Pa. For items from carriage and wagon works, see Harrisburg Carriage Repository Letterhead, Harrisburg, Pa. , and Gruber Wagon Works, Mt. Pleasant, Berks County, Pa.
