On February 28, 1900, Conan Doyle boarded the SS Oriental for South Africa, where he served as a physician at the Langman Field Hospital until July. By September of that year, he had completed his nonfiction work "The Great Boer War."

If H.B. Junior was born in the 1950s, then his father would have been born around the 1920s. And the cartoon was from 1909, so maybe Junior's grandfather. But then it's more likely that Levering of 1909 was related to Albert Levering somehow.

No, not really. And a few years too late ...

Thanks! That is definitely the original! Maybe the monogram is AP - but I'm not sure at all.

Actually, I didn't remember that illustration, even if I have read Andrew Malec's brochure (some 15 years ago ...).

It's not totally unknown. It can be found here: fdsteele.org/frederic-dor...
And also in Andrew Malec's brochure "The Frederic Dorr Steele Memorial Collection".

Good. That was later than I thought. Their sponsoring of the show was really iconic.

Yes! I don't remember exactly when they took over the sponsoring, maybe not until the Rathbone/Bruce shows. In the early 1930s it was still George Washington instant coffee (which tasted quite bad, I think).
