Dealer in Love, Kisses, and Up-to-Date Hugs—Give Me a Trial

This is a divided back postcard addressed on the other side to Miss Hazel Hollenbeck, Chili, Wisconsin. There's no signature or message, but the postmark indicates that it was sent from Grand Rapids, Wisconsin, on March 17, 1908.

 

Different versions of the text about "Wholesale and Retail Dealer in Love, Kisses, and Up-to-Date Hugs" appear on other early twentieth-century postcards and acquaintance cards. See, for example, Dealer in Love, Kisses, and Up-to-Date Hugs, published as a postcard, and Dealer in Love, Kisses, and Up-to-Date Hugs—I Deliver the Goods Myself, an acquaintance card.
