Description

This artifact is a postcard postmarked 1914, which is in keeping with the divided back, a change in the format of postcards that occurred in March 1907. Part of the postmark is missing because the stamp has been removed. The mailing address includes only the recipient's name, city, and state abbreviation (rather than the state postal code); underneath has been included the state route.
