    with black print and B&W graphic of the entrance to the

    Zipfel

    -
    Supplemental Information:
    I looked up Henry Zipfel but only could find "Henry A. Zipfel" who was born in 1880 so he would have only been 13 years old during the Fair and unlikely to have had his own business card. Also, I looked up the Horticultural Building staff but did not find a Zipfel. Germany printed some beautiful business cards in color but I've never seen one used with a person's name imprinted.
    This card needs more research!
