Copyright details

• There are no copyright markings on either side of the postcard, as can be seen on front and back views.
• Ayres and his fellow musicians started the band known as "Fashions in Music" in 1937, continuing with it into the 1940s. This postcard was created by the band as a promotional item for it.
• Mitchell Ayres no longer referred to the band he was leading by 1948; at the time he was signed for The Chesterfield Supper Club, his group was known as Mitchell Ayres and his Orchestra, or the Mitchell Ayres Orchestra. The name "Fashions in Music" was no longer used.
• Mitchell Ayres died in 1969, so this item is well within the pre-1978 guidelines for unmarked material.
