ANNEMANN, Theodore (1907-1942). The Jinx Subscriber Postcard. Self-addressed postcard depicting Annemann?s Jinx mascot. 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.
