Herbert Hansen Photographed by the Athletic Model Guild

I must thank a generous fan of this blog for the catalog of photographs taken by the Athletic Model Guild.

I have a large scan of this catalog that let me easily read the names of the models listed here from left to write and top to bottom: Pat Silbecki, Bert Elliott, Ray Cox, Stan Gergoshian, Ed Bowersox, Knolly Simpson, Art Andrews, Herbert Hansen, Tabby Anderson, Roland Steiner, Bob MacDonald, Ken Mort, George Smith, Skippy Martel, David Ellis, Lester Hunley, Duke Corenzo, Dick Venne George Fultz, Carter Reynolds, Jim Gass, Dean Noland, Red Bailey, Verby Wright, John Hart, Paul Hart, Harry Hary, Ben Vargas, Lyle Fox, Lucky Saunders, Gregg Carlson, Walter Keith, Jimmy Nickles, Ozzie Nelson, Able Smith, Frank Cox and Robert Bennett.

Bob Mizer's note at the bottom left helpfully explains his numbering system: "First number under picture identifies photo. The last number is that of the catalog page (or pages) which illustrate more photos of the model. Each catalog page: 10 cents."

This catalog shows you the thirteenth photograph of models whose catalog name begins with ZX.

I have had for a very long time this photograph of Herbert Hansen and, at last, know his name and that Mizer took the picture.
