This advertising card by Niven has been recorded but I have not seen an example before.
"St Clair Hazeldine · Hairdresser & Tobacconist · Corner of George & Brisbane St Launceston Tas."

The card was finely used at Launceston during 6/1908
If you have some advertising postcards by Niven, please post an image or two in this topic.

Thanks Patrick ...do you have a copy of Mike's book on the Niven cards? If you don't
you can contact him ('Mike') via the 'Members' link to the upper right corner of this page (if you
are logged in) and I am certain he will be happy to organise supply.
You never know, you may have an 'unrecorded by Simco' card there! 
P.S. if we can place 'requests' for images, I'd like to see 'Clarke's Aviary, Invermay, Launceston'
and 'Forbes Tramway Hotel, Hobart' but, unrealistically, I'd love to see them all!

I will do, but it may take a while. Console yourself with the thought that you have motivated me to extract all my Niven cards and put them in one album.
