Cats on Penny Farthings

This is an old advertising card from J & P Coats. They made (and still do!) yarn, thread, and other sewing material. In fact, they are the world's largest sewing thread and needlecraft supplies manufacturer and distributor.

The cats are riding penny farthings, the name for the big-wheeled bicycles that were popular in the 1870s and 1880s. Incidentally, the name penny farthing comes from the British coins, which had a similar difference in size to the bicycle wheels.

Here's the back of the advertising card:

Lincoln Hotel and Lincoln Motel

There are few similarities beyond the Lincoln name. A lot of things were named after Lincoln. It's a natural that the City of Lincoln, Nebraska would have a Lincoln Hotel.

Then, there's the Motel Lincoln on Lincoln Way in Masillon, Ohio.  I can picture Abraham Lincoln staying at the Lincoln Hotel, but it's a little harder to imagine him having an overnight at the Motel Lincoln. Maybe if he wore Bermuda shorts and left the hat at home.

Here are the backs of the cards in the same order:

U.S. Military Camps - Savannah, Georgia

A lot of postcard collectors shun postcard folders for reasons I completely understand. For one thing, you have to unfold them to look at the images. Then you have to fold them up again. They're also printed on lighter paper. On the other hand, you often get the views that are available on regular postcards, except you get 18 of them!
Here are some of the views from a circa 1940 folder of military camps around Savannah, Georgia. War is ugly, but somehow these images of Camp Stewart and Savannah Air Base manage to appear charming.
