Thanksgiving Greetings from Mabel


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

  1. 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!

  4. As 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.

  6. It's sometimes reassuring to see that the concerns of 100 years ago mirror our own!

  9. I like the textured effect of the embossed card, that resembles a fabric finish.
