And here's the back of the card.
The message to Mrs. Claud Light reads:
Dear Sis,
I am anxious to see the new kitchen. Write and tell me what you are going to give the girls for Christmas so I won't be giving the same things. Lovingly, Mabel
About Me
- Christine H.
- I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest. I will try to put up a postcard every day. If you have a special request for a particular city or place, let me know!
That's a fine card, good thing the little girl is blocking the turkey's view of what he is pulling in that cart, otherwise he might take off running at a breakneck pace in an escape attempt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little card. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

ReplyDeleteAs an amateur genealogist, I wanted to find a bit more about Mrs. Claud Light. The 1910 Census, enumerated April 20, 1910, for Broome County, New York (Harpursville's county) lists Claude and Nina Light, ages 27 and 19, married one year. He was employed as a milk inspector for Borden Milk Co.

Happy Thanksgiving! One of my biggest collections is Thanksgiving postcards with children.
ReplyDeleteIt's sometimes reassuring to see that the concerns of 100 years ago mirror our own!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the additional information!
Wow! I thought I had some good looking Thanksgiving postcards. This one is top notch!
ReplyDeleteI like the textured effect of the embossed card, that resembles a fabric finish.
