WALT'S BIRTHDAY 2009-May I Have Your Business Card?


We all know Walt was a man of many talents, and in the 1950s several businesses as well. Did you ever wonderful what Walt gave people when they asked for a business card? Typically, it was the studio business card that has been reproduced several times. However, we all know that Walt started WED to help him build and Imagineer Disneyland. For years it was located on the Burbank Studio lot (at 2400 West Alameda Ave.). It is reasonable to assume that Walt had a WED business card. And here it is, in honor of his Birthday. I discovered this a good twenty years ago. At the time, no one was aware of a WED business card. As I interviewed many of the old timers, I showed them this card, and they had never seen it (and yes, I did ask the Archives). I believe it is probably still quite rare today, and so I wanted to share it with the readers here at the Institute.
