It was the GREAT DEPRESSION and they were still MERRY

I promised another card which might offend some. Not me, but some.

Again, this card is from the same scrapbook as the one yesterday. Early 1930s. The Great Depression. A jackass, some booze, and a wreath. That about sums up the holidays for many a soul.

Enjoy!

And for those closing up shop to rush away to loved ones I wish you all a Merry Christmas. Now that I have net access again, and as long as the rains don't take my signal down, I'll be able to go back through a few weeks of posts to catch up.

Jackass falling off A JACKASS

This old linen post card was mailed by my father to my mother in December 1944. The card was mailed from Orem, Utah. My mother was in Harrisburg, Pennyslvania. The following March they would marry. I do not believe the sentiment on this card is the only thing that brought them together.
