Thanks for Coming Along

The Daily Postcard is celebrating its second birthday today. Whether you just stopped by for the first time or you've been checking in for the last two years, I thank you for coming along for the ride.  Reader comments really add a lot to the stories behind these cards, so thanks to all of you who have contributed historical information as well as opinions and observations.

I don't know who these two fellows are, but I think they're heading into town to get a couple shots of whiskey in celebration of this blog milestone.
Here's the back of the card. Based on the stamp box design, this card was printed between 1904 and 1918.

  8. Happy second birthday Christine, thank you, and keep those images coming - they are very much appreciated.

    I keep thinking that there must be a way to narropw down the dates of these AZO cards - many of the date ranges given on the Playle web site seem to be a decade or more, which you can probably tell from the clothing anyway.

  14. I can remember riding on the school bus and kids yelling out the window to anyone they saw walking, "GET A HORSE!" I'm guessing kids today wouldn't get this comment at all.

    Congrats on sticking it out for two years.
