Clarence E., York, Pennsylvania
"Clarence E., York, Penn'a."
I had a hunch that this roughly cut card was intended to be a calling card with a puzzling last name in the form of a rebus, but I wasn't sure what the name could be. I thought Clarence E. Eishart ("eyes-heart") might be one possibility or perhaps even Hardice ("heart-eyes").
After various Google and Google Book searches using just the partial name and location ("Clarence E." York Pennsylvania), however, I finally located a couple of sources that contain what I think is the correct name--Clarence E. Eisenhart ("eyes-and-heart"). He lived in York, his birth and death years are 1854 and 1926 (I think), and he married a woman whose name was Meta Folke. I haven't seen the eyes-and-heart drawing anywhere else, though.
