Biographical / historical:

The Landon School of Illustration and Cartooning, in Cleveland, was well-known cartooning correspondence course which produced many illustrious graduates, such as Milton Caniff, Carl Barks, and Roy Crane. These materials belonged to Wayne A. Endy (1887-1961), a student in 1932-1933, from Reading PA, who does not appear to have become a professional, even though he is praised by Landon.
