Vintage Motoring Fun
This RPPC was mailed from Elk Point, South Dakota on 11 November, 1909 to Mr. H.E. Jones, 820 Idaho St., Huron, South Dakota. The message reads; "Cold and rainy today - J_[?]__ has been sick for two days but better now. Leila wants us to come down for two plays Fri. and Sat. but just don't know what do as Uncle Alex is very low and we hate to go home till he is better. I am planning on coming Monday if nothing happens. Will go to S.C. Sat. and stay with Leila and go to matinee ("Paid In Full"). Hope you are OK and don't worry about me. Will try and write you again and let you just when I arrive. Lovingly, S_ [?]__".
Perhaps the writer is one of the ladies pictured, pretending to push an impressive brass era automobile. If the gals did set it rolling I'd say the gent straddling the front suspension is well positioned to do himself an injury. The group are well togged up for open air motoring travel.
The Saturday matinee of "Paid In Full" which the writer mentions would have been a touring company's performance of Eugene Walter's hit Broadway play of 1908.
