Here's the back of the card, which Mike sent to Mrs. Oscar Bentson in Florence, Montana.
The message reads:
Dear Pat -
Your postal was O.K. looks good to see the st cars. How do these berrys look to you? Ma and I have just arrived from Portland, we were down to the carnival. Had dandy time - Took in everything Will write later + tell more about our trip.
Mike
Based on the June postmark, it's likely that Mike was in Portland for the Annual Rose Festival. The Rose Festival was a fairly new event at the time, but it is now an important tradition in Portland.

Dandy....what a great word.....let'd bring it back. And, I love those strawberries. That would make a good label for my strawberry jam jars.
ReplyDeleteCompared with the other giant fruit and veg postcards, the strawberries look the tastiest!
ReplyDeleteOh Christine, you have the greatest giant fruit and veg postcards around. Please post more! Please please please!
ReplyDeleteUh huh, I knew you had more of those. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteDANDY INDEED!!!!
ReplyDeleteFABULOUS POSTCARD!!!
You just can't find good strawberries everywhere!..and never as great sized as these!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't want to get one of THOSE seeds stuck in your teeth...
ReplyDeleteI too was struck by the word "dandy". Over here it would be used to mean either a Regency Buck or a children's comic. I suspect I like your use of it - it is another of those American words we need to adopt.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! Do your fingers get red juice all over them when you hold that postcard? That red is intense. That's the best color on your "large" cards that I've seen yet.
