The Whole Dam Family

This card was sent in 1905.  Any resemblance to people you know is entirely coincidental.

Several versions of this card were printed and were used to advertise a 1905 short silent movie, called the Whole Dam Family and the Dam Dog. There does not appear to be a cat in the movie. You can watch a minute and a half of it on Youtube. I think there must have been more.

Fishing for ? in Florida

This was in the 20-cent box at a local postcard sale.  Both the card and the message are amusing. I'm not going to comment on the message, but I did want to mention that this is another card that reached its destination with minimal address information.

Uncle Sam Talks Turkey

Uncle Sam is saying, "O.K., it's the day after Thanksgiving, now give it back." Well, at least it looks that way.

This card was sent in 1909. As best as I can tell, the message reads:

Hello Ed

Are you a liveing in the mountains

This nice weather.

Looked for you up this fall are you not a coming up.

This turkey is for your dinner.
