Ein Artikel in The Hartford Courant (Hartford, Connecticut) auf S. 61 (= S. 5 des 5. Teils) befasst sich mit Briefmarken und erwähnt auch die österreichische Bruckner-Briefmarke [IKO 142]:
"Europe's Unrest Reflected in Stamp Issues
                                 [...]
           BY KERMET E. PARKER
     POSTAGE stamps can not quite put themselves in Louis XIV's place and say, "I am the state", but they are so inextricably linked up with the state that there is no important change in government, wealth, or feeling that is not reflected upon a nation's stamps.
     [... Mittelamerika, Kaukasus etc. ... Polen, Baltikum, Luftpost, Sowjetunion, Danzig, Türkei, Bulgarien ... nicht nur die neuen Staaten bringen ...] peculiar and unbeautiful stamps, for such states as Germany and Austria have been among the most flagrant producers of this type. [...].
     Austria's present issue purports to show the occupations of the country, but this allegory is badly done. Agriculture is suggested by a head of wheat und industry by a half-hidden hammer, [... Luftpostmarken ...] which are adorned with a poorly-drawn bird; this is known to collectors as the "Flying Clothespin". One really handsome issue, though, is the charity series of 1922, showing famous Austrian and pseudo-Austrian musicians: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Bruckner, Strauss and Wolf.
     [... deutsche, holländische und schweizerische Marken etc. ... Stabilität der amerikanischen Briefmarken-Edition ...]."
