Beech-Nut Gum – A Cartoon Puzzler from 1935



 TWO  magnificent full-page bird’s-eye views for ‘Beech-Nut Gum and Candies’ — both prominently signed, but the bold, wet signature is almost illegible. See several previous Cartoon Puzzlers HERE.

  3. Hay has a section in Watson's "40 Illustrators and How They Work". If you have a copy handy.
