Postcard to Kolozsvár

 

This wonderful postcard consists of a collage of German-language advertisements and announcements.  At first I thought the postcard might be Czech. In any case, it is addressed to someone in Kolozsvár (the Hungarian spelling of the Romanian City of Cluj), the informal capital of the province of Transylvania.

Happy Birthday

Two cards today, one for my father's birthday and one for Streetcar Sunday! It's Madeleine's birthday too! Happy Birthday, Madeleine.

Streetcar Sundays - Cortland, NY

Cortland, NY is 31 miles from Syracuse and has a population of about 18,500 today. The picture on this card is from around 1906. You can see the streetcar in the distance. The streetcar system in Cortland was discontinued in 1931.
The sender has written a message on the front of the cards that says:

I am feeling quite good this morning.

am coming home.

There were a number of people with the last name of Tarbox in Cortland and Harford Mills. I tried to find out more about H.E. Tarbox, but it would take more research. It's a wonderful last name.
