The Postcard Thread

Oh, look at that, anniem.  The grounds really haven't changed all that much, but I notice a new building off to the left there.

Interesting, huh

This one is interesting for the Sunday best clothes they're wearing

What a great postcard.  Love that pergola.

A recurring theme in so many of these older postcards are requests for the recipients to write back

This may be a real photo postcard.  The smudges just to the right of center, and on far right happened at the printer and are not due to damage to the postcard itself.

Hello Susie
How ar you
I am in the yards to day


Check out the postmark.  Part of it didn't print completely, but it looks like mail sent from the STOCKYARDS had it's own post office and postmark.

(Wonder if this card was being sent to her workplace?)

The restaurant is listed as being permanently closed.

I wonder if he's the one who sent the card.  He doesn't seem dressed to work in the stockyard, more like someone in a Dixieland jazz band or barbershop quartet..

I think I'll go with the terrace dining.  Unless it's really cold, I like eating outside.

I'm guessing that's a neon sign.  Would have looked pretty grand at night.

Another ham radio QSL ("I confirm reception") card.

Interestingly, most of my QSL postcard collection came from the Molines in Lewiston, Michigan.  They had the walls of their combined gas station and tow truck business covered with them, though this particular card shows no sign of having been taped or stapled to a wall.

Art Bell was a ham of course, I wonder if he participated by sending any out, or if any were sent to him.

These older postcards of mines, sheep pens, farming, and so on seem unusual - growing up I never received any like that, or remember seeing them at the stores and gift shops that sold post cards.

This one doesn't provide a date, but does mention the ''recently created state of Oklahoma'', which became a state in 1907
