Postcards from the turn of the last century

Grant's dad gave him a box of old postcards about a year ago, and we looked through them at the time. Most were written to Grant's great-uncle and they are dated from 1907 onwards. Most have been written on, so you get the jist of life from one man's perspective. Some even have stamps (1cents!). I thought I'd post just a sampling as I go through the whole box again. I will continue to post more, now that I have a scanner. Enjoy!

"My Wife's Gone to the Country"

"What I like the best about you is that you have me"

"On the Way to Reno"

"This is what the stork brot to our house. I wish it wus a (dog)"

The Faithful Husband's Toast
"Here's to my wife-wish her long life!
She's mighty good looking, unriveled at cooking
Knows all about medicine, as inventive as Edison
Just plumfull of grit, has no equal for wit
Sees the point when I joke-insists that I smoke
Never chews the rag when I get a jag
She knows how to sew and still calls me her beau"
