Here you go, Shay.  That is one fantastic postcard!

Thanks! @Rikki Gins   I got it for the stamp more than anything.  I wish you were there with me.  They had lots of postcards.  I think you would've enjoyed browsing.  :)  I thought about buying a few more but I keep myself on a strict budget.  I had $20 to spend.  I got some old German banknotes and that postcard.  The place I went to is in a huge farmer's market and I was more interested in the fresh apple cider they sell.   ;)  I'm going to go back soon.

Oh I would have loved being there with you @ShayP.  Postcards and apple cider, what a great combination.  I still buy postcards occasionally, through an online auction on eBay.  Postmark dates are interesting too.  The one on your postcard was stamped on Friday the 13th.  The Lusitania pulled into New York City after a five day crossing of the Atlantic.  A new speed record, back in those days.  Cheers, Shay!

In celebration of the current Full Blue Halloween Hunter's Moon, here is a postcard showing a full moon over Danville, Indiana.  (The last full moon on Halloween in all time zones was back in 1944.)

ooohhh, snazzy.
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.

Dear Mureal -
  Hope you are
feeling better in
your new surround-
ings.  It's a beau-
tiful day.  I walk
to work up over
Austin street and
enjoy it.  I picked
some lovely
wild flowers for
the store and
every one remarks
on them.  Love from Julie G. (?)
