The object’s story

Object Description

Donated by Gwen Whyte, who inherited them from her late aunt, who had been a neighbour of Lackie’s in Balmore Street, Dundee.

Transcription

A Merry Xmas postie.
In the name of fellowship
If I were nearer you, but there –
It’s a long, long way to “Tip”

Take this to COMEDIAN LACKIE
At the Glasgow Casin-o
Run by PICKARD, who beats the record.
For a stunning all-round show.
