Postcards from Friends

In looking for images for the Downtown Hobart blog, I recently came across two postcards from old friends.

Here's Howard Shearer courting Elsie Wojahn (who apparently was staying at the home of her friend, Bertha Nolte). I have added this one to their correspondence.

Next we have birthday greetings from Ruth Bullock to baby sister Etta, who was visiting someone in Chicago. Yes, "R.B." has to be Ruth Bullock. Because I say so.

I have no idea who Steve Clinton was, or why his impending arrival should evoke such merriment.

This is the front of the card — no hearts or flowers for these young ladies:
