It's not your computer screen being bad, it's the fact that the World War I draft cards are so old that they are naturally hard to read. :) Anyway, it says: LEFT SIDE: Name--Ike Gelbert Address--1626 Lexington Avenue; New York, NY Age--40 Date of birth--July 16, 1878 Race--white US citizen--Naturalized Occupation--Baker Employer--Pechter Bros. Employers address--64 E. 109th St., New York, NY Nearest Relative--Sarah Gelbert 1626 Lexington Ave., New York, NY His signature was at the bottom RIGHT SIDE--Height: Medium Build: Medium Color eyes--(not sure. looks like it says Gray??) Color hair--Dark brown Signed--Grace C. Lawlor Dated--Sept. 12, 1918 The link you have given does not work. If this is from a census, can you give the source citation please I had a look at it on the site this is the other information off there.
