"Hutson Brothers"

"H B Series" - Hutson Brothers

Percy Hutson was a traveller for the Pictorial Poastcard Company in 1904, and when this company went out of business in 1908 Percy and his brother acquired the stock and goodwill, and continued trading as the Hutson Brothers. The following unsigned card appears to be lonked to the "F S" series Every Picture tells a Story and Take a Friend's Advice and it was at first thought that it could have been by "F S."  However a survey of cards published at about the same time, with nearby serial numbers has been carried out aand it is now suugested that the crad was probably by Harry Parlett. See False Trails.
