Throughout the years, the way people make a living has changed
dramatically, beginning with farming and agriculture, and ending
with the age of computers. This new postcard history showcases
images of the state at work in the first 25 years of the twentieth
century. Images show farmers in the rice fields, using horses and
steam tractors, and harvesting cotton, hay, and corn. Later cards
focus on the loggers who radically changed the landscape forever.
Merchants and bankers of business, including pharmacies, were
popular postcard fare as well; these establishments served the
farmers who traveled into town, especially on Saturdays when the
streets were filled with wagons, and later, cars.
From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an
extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the
postcards produced during this agolden agea can today be considered
works of art. Postcard photographers traveled the length and
breadth of the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes,
documenting local landmarks, and assembling crowds of local
children only too happy to pose for a picture. These images,
printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country,
survive as telling reminders of an important era in Americaas
history. This fascinating new history of Carroll and Boone Counties
showcases
more than two hundred of the best vintage postcards available.
