But the following item appeared in The Mercury on 23 January, 1908:

Look at the other authors of the letter! Its our friend W.J. Little, 'The Postcard King", who had a shop not far away in Elizabeth Street.

My listings tell me that I have two cards by Holloway, another 'Falls Hut' card and one of 'Dead Island, Port Arthur (1600 graves). As usual, I regret I have no idea where in my albums they are!
