I have quite a few old postcards, scattered here and there! Many years ago I stuck several of them into an old oak display unit from the old 16th Street Southern Pacific station in Oakland CA. The unit was used for various tax tables, some of which were from the '20s and '30s, stuck between two pieces of glass about 6 inches wide, 20 inches tall. After spending about an hour trying to remember how to get them out, I am starting to scan them! Enjoy!
The card above was obviously a push for people to get authorization (and money) from Congress for the Panama Pacific Exposition. Needless to say, the campaign was successful, as the card below
is one of the very impressive buildings built for the Exposition (and torn down shortly after).
