| カール・ワイデル・レイモン 函館からトラウツへ |
Carl Weidl-Raymon (1894-1987), renowned as the sausage maker of Hakodate, Hokkaido, originally hailing from Austria-Hungary, extended his New Year's greetings through a thoughtful card sent to F. M. Trautz. This card is unique, with one of its edges perforated, indicating that the stock was made of multiple postcards. Each postcard had preprinted spaces for the year, month, and date, which had to be manually filled. In this case, the card was sent "unfilled." Despite the lack of specific dates, the postmark is dated January 5, 1933, firmly placing it within that year.
The postcard is written in German longhand, and I refrain from attempting to read or translate it. The only part I can decipher is where he signed the card as Carl Raymon. Interestingly, the business is still in operation.
