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.

A Bite to Eat
Bill's GAY 90s
57 EAST 54th. STREET
Under flickering "gas lights," past "high wheel bikes,"
"old melodramatic bill posters," a pair of "swinging doors,"
and behold a gay café and bar of those good old days before
the turn of the century. Here, mid walls hung with
hundreds of prints reminiscent of "Old New York," you
find congeniality, excellent cuisine, intimate entertainment.
This colorful spot has become nationally renowned.

A Bite to Eat
Valley Green Inn, Wissahickon Drive. Philadelphia, Pa. A most attractive building of the Colonial style, is located far up on the Wissahickon Drive. The situation is one of the most ideal in Fairmount Park. It is a favorite haunt for picnickers and horseback riders.

" HAPPY HOUR "
It's five O'clock - Where's Everybody?
At the FIVEO'CLOCK CLUB of course!
Drinks on the House at 5 O'clock
Dining and Dancing
Talk about your Gold Rush,
And the boom of twenty-fie
And the horde of bargain hunters,
Like bees around the around the hive.
-------------------------------------------
Yo ain't seen nothin' brother,
Unless at five you've watched,
The lads and gals a heading,
Together or unattached.
-------------------------------------------
Blondes, brunettes an redheads,
To the Five O'clock Club they come,
Tall men, short men, fat men, too.
See how they run.
Bothers Barken
Had my favorite cocktail
