More Penny Postal Greetings from Early Last Century

In the early 1900s, my husband's Wood family mailed each other penny postal greetings for every conceivable holiday.

Here's a colorful postcard sent to Wallis W. Wood in Cleveland, Ohio more than a century ago.

The card was from his aunt Rachel "Nellie" Wood Lewis Kirby in Chicago, staying in touch for Washington's birthday (traditionally February 22nd).

Happy President's Day!

    I love all the vintage postcards of George Washington. The mythical story about the cherry tree seems to feature on many of them. Yours is one of the cuter that I've seen with his image right on the ax. Enjoy the holiday!
