New Year's Calendars

It's hard to believe that this new year's calendar is 100 years old.

This one's from 1911.

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

Happy New Year from Walter P. Smith, Mail Carrier

How I would love to get a card like this from my mail carrier!

And while we're talking about mail, here's another card that mentions the U.S. Postal service in terms of New year's Greetings.

The back of the first card is blank. here's the back of the second one.

The message sent to Mr. and Mrs. Chauncey Hawkins of Susquehanna, Pennsylvania in 1909 reads:

Dear friends

May this Xmas be a joyous one for you both. Wish you could be here with Bertha and I. We are having such a good visit. With love Emily

Dutch Christmas

I love the graphics and the colors on these--and any picture with ices skaters wins my favor.
Have a very merry Christmas.

 

The backs of the cards all look the same, though only one has any writing on it.
