New enough and long enough. Image has appropriate licensing to appear on the main page. QPQ checks. I see two problems. Firstly the name of the magazine is The Wasp, so you might have to stylise it as such. More importantly while your source mentions that he was married to "Florence Ballinger, the sister of Frank J. Ballinger", it does not seem to say that Frank was his former business partner, or that he worked for The Wasp. Freikorp (talk) 11:25, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

@Freikorp: "When a young man Mr. Macfarlane went to San Francisco ond with Frank J. Bollinger owned and conducted "The Wasp" of that city the pioneer Illustrated paper of the Paclllc coast."--KAVEBEAR (talk) 18:15, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Must have missed that somehow. Good to go. Freikorp (talk) 21:23, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
