Postcards mailed by the same sender do occasionally stay together, no matter how long ago they were mailed.

They actually followed a script, or storyline and they would act out their assigned parts during the photo shoots. They were usually hired by the photographer to pose for multiple scenarios. For instance, once they were done with the swing story, they might have been taken to a lake for some boat pictures, or a park bench, or other scenic locations that would make good postcard stories. Interestingly, enough pictures were taken during these shoots to make it seem like they 'move' when photographed a certain way.
