To My Love


Here's the back of the card.


The message to Master B. best reads:
S. Valentine's Day
Just got back from London. Daddy gone to Hereford again. This is a picture of you at the dance
Mother.

Master B. best must have been a boarder at St. Cuthbert's Prep School, Malvern Link.

Rally Day

What's the difference between Rally Day and Rallyday? One is a call to prayer and an effort to get kids back to Sunday school in the fall. The other has to do with rally cars and an event that takes place in Wiltshire, England. These postcards have nothing to do with cars.
See how many fonts you can identify on the first card.



Here are the backs of the cards, sent to Joyce Thompson of Santa Ana and Mrs. Veryl Culver of Arcata.

All the Nice Girls...

It's fun to find two postcards with the same title, especially All the Nice Girls Love  a Sailor. Do you know the song?


The song was written and composed by A. Mills, but it was made famous by Hetty King (1883-1972) who sang it in 1905. Hetty was a male impersonator. You can hear a version by Ella Retford here.


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