TITANIC poem card

A card advertising the newspaper and magazine agency of Sumner F. Claflin of Manchester, New Hampshire, with his photograph and address. On the back is a poem he wrote about the TITANIC. A preface at the top describes the ship and explains that "the author and his wife were on an ocean voyage at the same time." Claflin was a newspaper columnist and ran several times for state office as a candidate for the Socialist Party.
