Oh that is funny TL, because I've never gotten that particular Clickacy.  I really like that postcard.

Excellent!

Chez Paree
former nightclub and theatre restaurant in Chicago, Illinois, United States
The Chez Paree was a Chicago nightclub known for its glamorous atmosphere, elaborate dance numbers, and top entertainers. It operated from 1932 until 1960 in the Streeterville neighborhood of Chicago at 610 N. Fairbanks Court. The club was the epitome of the golden age of entertainment, and it hosted singers to comedians to vaudeville acts. A "new" Chez Paree opened briefly in the mid-1960s on 400 N. Wabash Avenue and was seen in the film Mickey One with Warren Beatty.

Hi Mom and John,

Be good, don't work too hard.
  See you soon

Thanks for the invite, Grav.  I'll be at work right then, but it does sound like an interesting concept.  Have fun.

This is the third oldest postcard in my collection.  It is a legitimate postcard that was utilized as a carbon copy of one sent to a medical center.  The postmark reads, WEBSTER GROVE, MO.  SEP. 3, 7am.

The spelling... maybe she was an early adopter of texting?
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

This is a 1907 1c McKinley black pre-stamped postcard, Harris catalogue UX19

I'm not sure why the address is crossed out, and why it says 'carbon'.  This was obviously sent through the mail.  Did she write on a piece of paper, with a carbon sheet underneath that copied the message onto the postcard?

Those areas, Missouri and Kansas, unless you were wealthy, there weren't many chances for a great education. Many people spelled things how they sounded.

Sellers will sometimes cross it out as a sign it is not to be sent, I think.
Time spent with cats is never wasted.
