Printed promotional card for ventriloquist King Cole and his partner Mickey Finn, billed together as The Wrinkle Wreckers. The card features a printed photograph of the performer with the dummy figure alongside bold typographic lettering presenting the act name and billing. The Wrinkle Wreckers billing suggests a comedy-focused act positioned around the theme of laughter as an antidote to worry, a marketing approach with broad audience appeal.
The reverse of the card was mailed with a Bronx Central Annex postmark and bears printed booking contact information for Frank Farrell, King Cole, listing phone and wire contact details and a New York City address, alongside a handwritten correspondence message addressed to a booker in Massachusetts referencing entertainment for clubs, churches, lodges, and children's shows. The dual function of promotional card and mailed correspondence is well represented here.
The front bears the printed text: Printed design reading King Cole, Ventriloquist and His Partner Mickey Finn, The Wrinkle Wreckers. The reverse reads: Mailed reverse with Bronx Central Annex postmark, printed contact details for Frank Farrell King Cole New York City, handwritten correspondence message. Handwritten inscriptions read: Ink correspondence message on reverse.
