Past Post: Cherry Street 1908

April 15th, 2008 @ 12:10 am by Cliffe | Sorted Past Post |

Today’s Past Postcard has traveled 100 years to arrive at your desktop. In May of 1908 it was sent to Stow, Massachusetts showing a look down Cherry Street. Scope out the text and card.

A long time since I have sent you any postal. But I do get careless at times. I am well and having a fine trip around the world. Hope you are all well with best wishes.

Front: Cherry Street, Seattle, Washington.

Back: No. 5026 Publ. by Portland Post Card Co. Portland, Ore. and Seattle, Wash. (Made in Germany.) Postcard sent May 27, 1908.
