Neuman is a watermark, I know because I got a rejection letter back in '73 or '74 on the same stationary. I wasn't thrilled at being (rightly) rejected, but to a 13-year old, having a humorous personalized note signed by Al Feldstein certainly took the sting out of it. The image of Alfred E.

They're somewhere in the garage or buried in a time capsule under our septic tank. I'll see if I can dig them up.... I have two of those form rejection letters from 1991-92.
