Hi Folks,
We are up here on a trip with Fred.

Hope someones hand is better.

Welcome to my collection of Linen Post Cards. When I was a child in the 50s my eccentric aunt Hannah sent Linen Post Cards to our house from her adventures. The simple watercolor effect they have gave me many hours of daydreams from her travels. I hope I can share a few with you. Yes cards and daydreams.

Pub: METROCRAFT
Niagara Falls.at one time presented the spectacle of one solid wall of water emptying the entire river but centuries of erosion have diverted the flow until now, and for many years beyond the memory of man, the cataract is divided into what are known as Horse Show Falls and American Falls. It has fallen to the lot of the United States (because of the deeper channel that forms the boundary line between this country and Canada) to acquire a great share of the Falls, as well also, quite three-fourths of the islands in the Niagara River.
