ANNEMANN, Ted (1907-1942). The Jinx Subscriber Renewal Postcard. Self-addressed postcard depicting Annemann’s Jinx cat mascot. With 4to instruction sheet explaining how to use the card to renew your Jinx subscription without writing on or marking the card in any way. Uncommon.With this postcard, Annemann devised an amazing method to retain subscribers. With the supplied postcard, one needed only to stroke the black cat’s back three times and return the postcard by mail – no address, postage, money, or signature was required to identify the renewal. How Annemann managed this feat has remained a subject of speculation ever since.
