Selma, Blanche And Maggie

Here’s a portrait of three beautiful young ladies, probably sisters. The sender, one of the three, wrote a nice long and funny message to her cousin Henry:

“My Dear Cousin, this is my Postal, how you like me, I look like a Pickle, it is so say yes, Henry ask your Pa if he knows about that farm what it is near Sweda[?] …and remember me kid dont show this postal to George because I look so homely and if you will than remember what will I do with you I will kiss you to [?] …excuse my writting…Good Bye  xxxx, xxxxx.”

Well, this is a needle in a haystack type of search – without a location it proves to be very tedious to look for three sisters, close in age, somewhere in the U.S. (chuckle) probably in farm country, maybe the Midwest, who knows? It looks like the sender was writing off the page at the bottom left. Is that the town she’s talking about or is that her signature in the form of a nickname? Anyway, it’s a great postal, to use the term from back in the day.

Divided back, unused with writing, Real Photo Postcard. CYKO stamp box. Circa 1910s – 1920.
