Tiny Tads Co.

1908

"Tiny Tads" refers to the characters in the comic strip "The Terrors of the Tiny Tads," created by Gustave Verbeek, an artist and cartoonist. These characters appeared in postcards, often with illustrations by Verbeek himself. While Tiny Tads isn't a postcard company in itself, there are indications of a Tiny Tads Company that published some of the postcards featuring Verbeek's artwork. This suggests a licensing or partnership agreement where the company reproduced and distributed the postcards based on Verbeek's creations.
