Title: Casey at the bat

Date: [ca. 1930–1945] Format: Postcards/Cards

From the back of the postcard:

"This performing animal demonstrates a brand new method of animal training. The animal has been trained by animal psychologist Keller Breland, at Hot Springs, Arkansas. Breland's animals learn by the reward system. No punishment is used. Once trained, they never forget and will happily perform for anyone. These educated animals are nationally famous. They have been featured on television and in Life, Popular Mechanics, Reader's Digest and other National Magazines."
