Buzza founded the Buzza Company in 1907. The company started out selling
college posters and posters for retail stores. When the
market for these went away, he decided to manufacture greeting cards. In 1928 Buzza merged with the Charles S. Clark Company
of New York City. In 1929 Buzza sold his interest in the company and retired to
California. Buzza
was considered to be a pioneer in his use of color. He produced few movable books. But other titles include:
My peek-a-boo show book
