NOTES:
 
   Often included with advertisements, ink blotters, like trade cards, were a good way to attract potential customers. Because people kept them on their desks, the advertiser’s message would always be in front of them, and generate way more advertising ‘impressions’ than many of the conventional trade cards. Ink blotters were popular in the days of fountain pens. They are typically thicker than your standard trade card as they were used to help wipe the excess ink from the tips of the pen.

 Most collectors consider sports themed ink blotters as a type of a trading card like this one issued by Falmouth Heights, the host of the 1931 Kiwanis Convention. The Cape Cod New England convention of Kiwanis Clubs took place from Wednesday, Sept 9, through the 12th. Approximately 900 delegates registered to attend the convention and many of them brought their wives, an attendance of 1500 or more, representing 90 Kiwanis Clubs. Between 1100 and 1200 rooms were listed.

 The Falmouth Heights ink blotter lists the rates if registered after August 15th. The thumb of the die-cut baseball mitt features the Kiwanis International logo. The top reads: "Play Ball, But Play Safe, Register before August 15th, Kiwanis Convention, Falmouth Heights-Cape Cod." Below reads: "Move The Home Plate To, Falmouth Heights-Cape Cod, Sept. 9-10-11-12"
