Vintage 1941 novelty card titled "Permit to Worry," a humorous and satirical ephemera piece designed for "any dyspeptic female." This mid-century gag gift features elaborate green scrollwork borders, a faux orange seal, and comical signatures from "Gerty Gloom" and "Calamity Jane." Produced by Ex. Sup. Co. in Chicago, it serves as a quirky example of period humor and social commentary from the WWII era. The card remains blank in the name field, making it a well-preserved collector's item for those interested in vintage paper goods, novelty stationery, or historical satire.
