I believe the sender was Reinhold W. Tess, the recipient his mother, Annie (Mrs. John) Tess. The 1900 Census and the 1910 Census show them on Seminary Avenue in Chicago. Reinhold was about 21 when he sent this postcard. What he was doing in Hobart, I have no idea. In 1910 he described himself as a bond salesman.
