Postcard, printed, cardboard, anti-suffrage card with satirical advice for husbands, including the suggestion that you should not let your wife become a suffragette, black and red printed inscription: 'Live & learn don't for young husbands By one Who's been through it. Don't come home late at night. It is bad form. Come home in the morning! Don't flirt with other girls - when the wife is looking. Dont' object to Ma-in-law coming to stay with you. Give her tinned meat until she dies off. Don't dine at the Club more than 7 days in the week. Don't forget to take plenty of holidays. It is your duty to keep yourself in good health. Don't take in male lodgers who are better looking than yourself. Trouble is sure to follow. Don't buy a Sandow's developer or your wife might want to use it. Don't pop out to see a man about a dog more than 12 times in a single day. Don't let your wife become a suffragette or there will be bad times in store for you. Don't buy your wife a new hat more than 6 times a week. P.S. - Old Husbands may do as they please. (REG.)', white ground, printed inscription reverse: 'London View Co., Ltd.'.
