MINNESOTA
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.

Dear E.F.
Here is a card for your collection. Hope you don't have another from Rochester. I am up here with my parents and the weather is wonderful. I dread going back to that hot weather in Missouri. Hope you are getting along we O.K. with your work.
Your friend Bob S.

"Land of 10,000 Sky Blue Lakes"
Greetings from Luverne, Minnesota
Minnesota a perfect vacation land, from the Lake of the Woods, with its fourteen thousand islands. Rainy River and Lake on the north to the fertile plains on the south, from the rugged rock bound coast of Lake Superior, the jagged crags of the St. Croix River on the east to the Bread Basket of the Red River Valley; picturesque scenery, lakes that team with fish and an atmosphere laden with the fragrance of pine and balsam.

PAUL BUNYAN
PAUL BUNYAN, BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA
MINNESOTA'S Lengendary Paul Bunyan
This huge figure of steel and concrete built on the shore of Lake Bemidji is supposed to be the size of giant lumberjack who cut down six sections of timber with one stroke of his axe. "Babe", Paul's blue ox was said to have used Lake Bemidji for a watering hole.
He's 63 axe handles high, with feet on the ground and his head in the sky.
