POSTCARDER
IA Co. Second Closeup

GREETINGS. Most people use post
cards for mailing. Not Joseph Mar
done - he uses them for collecting.
Today, Mr.. Nardone's unique col
lection contains a sample of the first
picture postcard printed in this ooun-
try-at the Columbian Exposition in
Chicago in 1893. In fact. most of his
cards are much more than 25years old.
He acquired this gallery of more
than 25,OOO from secondhand stores
and fellow collectors.
Shutting the cards, one learns that
in the 1905, any material was grist
for the cardmaker's mill: tin, bark,
wood, celluloid, leather, silver-foil.
But most were made from the heavy
postcard paper that's used today.
On the paper cards, the trims the
thing. A 1909 pin-up boasts real
human hair with well-turned curl.
Others feature pressed flowers, hand
embroidery. peacock made of feath-
ers, tiny bear of fur, a toy banana
from one of the bunch"
USEFUL. Correspondents years ago
sent cards that are still useful: you
can fan yourself with one, strike a
match on another. You can find any
date on the perpetual calendar card
and hear on your victrola the tiny
record inserted in another: 1t plays
Carmen"
Mr. Nardone has played his cards
well. He's shown the collection in
hobby shows, museums and schools.
He now hopes to establish an ex-
change center for picture-postcard
lovers in New York City.
Evenings at home, cards are good
company for Mr.. Nardone, who's a
printer during the day He uses pic

0N THE grassy curb at an outlying
~ street corner where once used to
wait with Others for a city-bound bus,
there lay pile of newspapers, alone, I'M
tended beneath maple tree. None of us
ever saw the trusting news dealer, but his
papers were always there for the taking.
People would toss their pennies on the
topmost sheet or make themselves change
for nickels dimes and quarters, until the
last paper was gone. When the last COM
muter had departed there lay in the grass
a little treasure of money watched over
only by the maple tree, touched only by
the sunlight sitting through the leaves.
Waiting there one morning, reflected
how safely the news dealers stock in trade
was left in trust upon the honor of every
passer-by. And then l noticed beneath the
coins the black headlines: CRIME WAVE.
The words were half hidden under the
untended money.
1t was as though some Wise and Humor-
Gus Hand had flung those shining discs
across the black-faced type to give the lie
to slander upon mankind
HERE are crimes, of course - and some
ofthem ugly ones. But even all together,
they are no more than ripple on the sur
face of great, calm sea of human hon.
esty and decency. People, by and large,
are square shooters. For every man who
betrays his kind there are ten thousand
doing the honorable thing all day long,
as matter of course, a custom, a way
of life.
Clear across the land you can see it at
every turn. Goods of every description are
spread on counters in every kind of store,
and even the most cynical detective will
tell you they are rarely taken except by
impulsive kids and pathological klepto-
maniacS.
One chain of counter restaurants gets
along without cashiers, merely by giving
its customers checks and leaving it to their
honor to drop the right payment into
box Another chain of the help-yourself
type has been prospering for generations
on the honor system of letting patrons tell
the cashier when they 60 out how much
they owe.
Beyond money, beyond business, hon.
esty and trust in honesty are implied in
the very pattern of our living. Consider
the style of American architecture: where
Evening star., 1946-03-03

as on the continent of Europe every sub
stantial house has high wall with broken
glass on the top to discourage intruders -
here, wall is the exception, and houses
even in the broadest acres stand open to
the road and to the goings and comings of
friends
Finding little breakdowns in 50 great
an expanse of openhanded trustfulness is
all too easy The breakdowns get public
ity; human decency is rarely news. The
papers tell of human folly because that
is what even honest humans like to read
about.
I OUR friend will relate how his hat was
stolen, omitting mention of the times his
fellow passengers took the trouble to run
after him with a forgotten umbrella. The
unthinking man or woman remembers
human failures, fastens his mind upon the
shortcomings of human nature, becomes a
cynic, suspects everybody and so shuts
himself behind wall of caution.
A wiser man or woman recognizes the
fact that in so much good there is inevi-
tably trace of bad He expects it, guards
against it within reason, but does not
forego the good in hope of avoiding the
bad
Caution itself needs to be tempered with
openhandedness. A successful man once
told me, after talking with utmost free
dom about his business affairs, you won
der why have been 50 frank on subjects
other people would consider business
secrets.
''lT's because I've learned that making
money depends on trusting people. True,
get stuck now and then But in the long
run make 50 much more by having conf
dence in people that don't even bother
to remember my losses"
1t pays not only to be honest, but to
assume that most other people are hon.
est, too. 1t pays in money - and even
more in the enjoyment of life.
No sensible man would deny the exist
ence of human weakness. So no one but
fool would leave all his money under a
tree, or be taken in by the let-me-invest-
your money stranger.
But no one save worse fool will shut
himself off from the joys of human con-
tact for want of trust in the essential hon.
esty of mankind.
