1888 postmarked postal history cover from Mount Vernon, Indiana. It was mailed from Raben & Sons, “Dealers in Dry Goods, Clothing, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Caps and Notions. Also a full line of groceries. 26 & 28 Main Street.” Apparently, financial difficulties in 1893 forced the business to close. The addressee was Franz R. Cadeu & Co. in nearby Evansville. The name at the right edge was L. J. Larkin of Mount Vernon.

1908 postmarked postcard view of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern (T. H. I. & E.) Traction Company Passenger Station in Plainfield, Indiana. This station was located on the southeast corner of Buchanan and South Vine Streets. This view was looking east-southeast from the northwest corner of the intersection. Both the 1907 and 1920 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets show the station at this location. The 1920 street address was 101 East Buchanan Street.
The business sign in the lower left-hand corner advertises the HANNA & SON LIVERY business. The names at the top of the sign are JOHN and WALTER. The bottom portion of the sign gives directions to the business: 1 SQUARE WEST AND 2½ SQUARES NORTH. The 1907 Sanborn™ map set shows the Hanna Livery business south of Main Street on the west side of Center Street (one block west and 2½ blocks north of the station). By the time the 1920 map set was being prepared, the livery business had been replaced by the new public library.
The penny scale standing against the wall behind the girls was probably manufactured by the National Novelty Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

1914 postmarked postcard view of the Brandt & Armstrong Store in Eaton, Indiana. A source in Eaton says the store was located on the northwest corner at the intersection of Harris and Hartford Streets, but has been replaced by the library. This view was looking northwest across the intersection with Harris Street on the left and Hartford Street on the right in this scene.
The 1900, 1910 and 1920 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets for Eaton all show these two brick buildings on that corner and facing Hartford Street. The corner space was occupied by a dry goods business. The large sign on the side of the building advertised the SELZ ROYAL BLUE $3.50 SHOE. The smaller sign advertised BRANDT & ARMSTRONG GENERAL MERCHANDISE AND SELZ SHOES. The signs on the building’s corner post advertised NOTIONS, DRY GOODS and SHOES. The store’s name was printed on the awning fringe and the sign above the awning advertised CARPETS, RUGS, LINOLEUMS and LACE CURTAINS. There was also a separate office space at the back of the building facing Harris Street.
Next door, the first window advertised JEWELRY AND ________ [PHONOGRAPHS?]. The second window included the name DR. _. DANIELS and ________ [OPTICIAN?]. These signs appear to be advertising a single business, or at least a single retail space. The 1900 map set shows a furniture store at this location while the 1910 and 1920 map sets show an unspecified office.
The small wood frame structure immediately north of these brick buildings was identified in the map sets as an office. The house north of that small office is shown in all three map sets, but had been remodeled in that 20-year timeframe.
The map set also shows a well pump located just a few feet west of the intersection on the north side of Harris Street. One of the blurry objects near the left edge of this scene may be that pump.

c1910 postcard view of the high school at Lagro, Indiana. Students were posing in front of the school. Teachers and other students were watching from the windows. The horse-drawn wagon had a name on the side, but it is unclear. The photographer labeled this the SPOTTED TEAM.

1913 postmarked postcard view of Main Street in Kendallville, Indiana. This view was looking southwest along the west side of Main Street between Williams and Rush Streets. The three-story building is the Keller Building. The 1914 Sanborn™ map set for Kendallville shows the post office in the north half of that building at 220-222 South Main Street. A mailbox stood by the entrance. A pool hall (224 South Main Street) and millinery shop (226 South Main Street) occupied the remainder of the building’s main floor.
The small building north (218 South Main Street) housed a harness shop according to the map set. The lettering on the awning at that address included the word HARNESS, but the remainder of the business name is unclear. The awning on the building at the right (216 South Main Street) advertised the GUTELIUS & MILLER 5 & 10 CENT STORE. Harry Gutelius and Dick Miller were brothers-in-law. The items on the sidewalk by the lamppost appear to be wheeled children's toys.
All three of these buildings were still standing and in use as of 2009. The partially visible advertisement at the right edge of the postcard stood in a vacant lot. It advertised STAR TOBACCO. The 1914 map set shows a bank occupying a building at that location (212 South Main Street).

1911 postmarked postcard view of the Evansville & Indianapolis Railroad Station in Cory, Indiana. This line was part of the much larger C. C. C. & St. L. (Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis) Railroad system. A 1908 railroad freight guide¹ included a timetable for this route between Terre Haute and Evansville. The Cory station was listed in the timetable at mile 15 in a 137-mile trip from Terre Haute.
The small sign on the end of the building advertised UNITED STATES ______ CO. The other sign on the front of the building advertised the WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH & CABLE OFFICE. The lettering on the front of the baggage cart advertised WELLS FARGO & CO. EXPRESS.

1910 postmarked postcard view of businesses on Lane Street in North Judson, Indiana. The business in the foreground is unidentified, but has a sign for Spana Cuba 5c cigars below the window. The next building houses the Peterson and Watts drug store and advertises drugs, sundries, paints and oils. Upstairs is the Smith Law Office. Next door to the drug store is the post office. The buildings beyond the post office display business signs, but they aren't quite readable. There's also a barber's pole at the curb beyond the post office.

Circa 1910 postcard view of Hagenbeck-Wallace Shows, Peru, Indiana. Unidentified circus performers and workers were posing in front of a circus wagon for the photographer.
Colonel Wallace created his successful circus in Peru in the 1880s and expanded it in the following years. Circuses were a seasonal business, generally running from late April into November. The Great Wallace Shows wintered at Peru. When he purchased the Carl Hagenbeck Circus in 1906, the new Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus was one of the largest in the world and it wintered at Peru as well. Unfortunately, the Great Flood of 1913 hit Peru very hard in March of that year and the circus was not spared. Wallace sold the circus later that year, but retained the winter quarters real estate.

1909 postmarked postcard view of North Broadway Street in Butler, Indiana. This view is looking north. The cross street in the foreground is Oak Street. Because of the poor quality of the photograph, few of the signs are readable. The DRUGGISTS sign on the west side of the street appears to have been mounted on a pole at the curb. The smaller sign on that pole included the word ICE and possibly SODA. This business was in the second building north of Oak Street according to both the 1907 and 1914 Sanborn fire insurance map sets. (Butler didn’t have a standardized street address system yet in 1914.)
A DRUG STORE sign on the east side of the street advertised another drug store that is shown in both the 1907 and the 1914 Sanborn map sets. That store was in the second storefront south of the alley. (A grocery was located in the first storefront south of the alley according to both map sets.) The 1907 Sanborn map set says the K. of P. Hall was located upstairs from the drug store. The SELZ SHOES sign at the Oak Street intersection was associated with a dry goods, clothing and shoes store that the 1907 Sanborn map set shows on that corner. Another real photo postcard from Butler shows the Shapland-Maxwell General Store at this location. The STEAM LAUNDRY sign on the side of that building points to a laundry business that was located east of the alley on the north side of Oak Street. The laundry is shown on both the 1907 and 1914 map sets. The business name in the window above the laundry sign isn’t quite readable. However, of all the professional offices listed at the corner of Oak Street in Moore’s Standard Directory of Butler, Ind. (1908-09), the BEECHLER dental office appears to be the most likely candidate. The balcony at the extreme right edge of this view belonged to a restaurant that was located on that corner according to the 1907 Sanborn map set.
The Johnston who signed this photograph was probably Lee F. Johnston, a photographer with a studio on Broadway. The 1907 and 1914 Sanborn™ map sets show a photographer's studio on the second floor of the second building north of the Shapland-Maxwell store.

Postcard description
c1910 postcard view of J. E. Ballinger taking possession of his new International Harvester delivery truck. The scene was in Windsor, Indiana, a small community located in Randolph County a few miles east-southeast of the City of Muncie. The "Patrons' Directory" in the 1909 Randolph County Plat Book¹ identified J. E. Ballinger as a "Dealer in Dry Goods, Clothing, Boots, Shoes and Furnishings. Stock always complete. Country produce commands highest market price."
Census data suggest the young man on the left may have been Ballinger's son. The boy on the right was probably a grandson. The man in the hat was probably delivering the truck (from Muncie?). The other young man may have brought the buggy (parked behind the truck) out to Windsor to give the dealer/salesman a ride back to the dealership. Maybe that buggy belonged to the photographer.
The 1909 plat book map for Windsor shows the only “smith” shop in town on the northeast corner at Main Street (or West Windsor Road) and Mulberry Street. From another c1910 postcard, we know the building on the right in the background of this postcard scene was Albert Nester’s blacksmith shop. The plat book map shows a “store” across Mulberry Street on the northeast corner of the intersection. That store would have been the Ballinger store that was just outside this scene on the left.
The photographer was facing northeast when this photograph was taken.

1912 postmarked postcard view of the CAMPBELL & SON HARDWARE store in Coatesville, Indiana. The postcard is embossed with PRUITT STUDIO, COATESVILLE, IND.
Several advertising signs and products were on display across the front of the store. The signs on the posts from left to right advertised SHERWIN-WILLIAMS PAINTS AND VARNISHES, GARLAND STOVES AND RANGES, QUICK-MEAL RANGES, KEEN KUTTER TOOLS AND CUTLERY, and GARLAND STOVES AND RANGES (again). In the display window (below the KEEN KUTTER sign) was a HORSE SHOW COATESVILLE announcement and another GARLAND STOVES AND RANGES ad. The poster in the window at the right announced THE BAINBRIDGE RACES JULY 4, 1910. The poster is partially covered by a Garland Stoves and Ranges ad and appears to show salkies racing at a track with a grandstand in the background.
Products on display included washboards, buckets, a lawnmower, and a roll of fence. The cans stacked behind the lawn mower appear to have the name WHITE CITY on them, but the product type isn’t discernible. Pitchforks were leaning against the wall behind the fencing. Farther to the right were a washing machine and a grinding wheel. The latter had KEEN KUTTER and _____ __________ COMPANY, INC. printed on the wheel. The SWP cans were Sherwin-Williams Paint cans. The labels on the other nearby cans aren’t readable.

c1910 postcard view of people strolling in Washington Park at Michigan City, Indiana. A similar postcard view identified this as the walkway to the beach. The miniature railroad station was in the center of the scene next to the roller coaster. The women were wearing hats and girls had bows in their hair. A few women were carrying parasols.

c1910 postcard view of Indiana Street in Mooresville, Indiana. This view was looking south through the Main Street intersection. There were a few pedestrians in the scene. The vehicles all appear to be horse-drawn wagons and buggies.
A sign on the building at the left edge of the scene advertised DRUGS. The 1910 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Mooresville shows a drugstore (102 East Main Street) on that southeast corner of the intersection with an opera house on the second floor of the building. The sign mounted next to that DRUGS sign advertised PUBLIC TELEPHONE STATION. That building was still standing as of 2013.
Across the street, the large two-story wood frame building farthest from the camera housed a dry goods business and offices according to the 1910 map set. That building was south of the alley and is no longer there. North of the alley, the larger of the two brick buildings is still standing. The name on the white awning on that building appears to be BRITTON. The map set shows a grocery at that location with a bank next door in the smaller brick building. The Mooresville Public Library’s online “Virtual Walking Tour of Downtown Mooresville” mentions Britton’s Cash Store (J. H. Britton), but it is marked at a different location north of this awning.
Next door, the sign painted on the window above the horse is unclear, but the map set shows a restaurant at that location. (The library’s Virtual Tour mentions Horace Hadley as owner of a restaurant north of Briton’s Cash Store.) The north half of that building was occupied by a barbershop. The sign painted on the window above that shop advertised DOCTOR ______. The next building south stood on the southwest corner of the intersection, but only the south half was captured in this photographic scene. The awning at that location advertised J. C. WILSON and the map set shows another restaurant at that location.

1911 postmarked postcard view of the Rockport High School in Rockport, Indiana. The 1909 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Rockport identified this as the “College Public School.” The 1917 map set identified it as simply the High School. In 1909, the building had steam heat and no lights; by 1917 electric lights had been installed. The school property was bounded by Walnut Street on the north, South Sixth Street on the east, Seminary Street on the south, and South Lincoln Street on the west. South Greenwood Avenue divides that parcel today.
The school was located at the north end of this block and probably faced Walnut Street. If so, this view was looking southeast from near Walnut Street. The photographer was probably standing west of the Greenwood Avenue intersection.

A special project I wanted to do for Halloween...I knew the concept of the costume I wanted, which was a ghost from the 1920's/1930's, but being a writer, I couldn't help but take it a step further and think about crafting a bit of a backstory & history behind my costume. It led to a poem I wrote entitled "Recollection" which is from a fictitious anthology of poetry set during Harlem of the 1920's and 30's called "Voices Of Harlem". I'm very much inspired by the greats during this period such as Zora Neale Hurston & Langston Hughes and am excited about the possibility of writing this anthology of poems. Hope someone finds it half-way interesting and hope everyone had a great Halloween. Be sure to hit 'L' to see on black!
'Recollection'
by V.G. Grace
Poem from fictitious anthology "Voices Of Harlem"
I came on a 'Carolina wind,
open
unschooled.
I was certain I could take on
the city
'cuz my mother didn't raise a fool.
My eyes were the color of spring green grass.
The city had in store for me
somethin' cold and fast.
A shabby boarding-house room
was all I could afford.
It was no matter,
I was gonna save my money
and trust in the Lord.
I met a good-lookin' man with a coolness to his ways,
fell hard,
didn't know it was gonna be the end of my days.
It was good for a piece
but it turned sour
quick.
I was too simple,
he needed
a fun gal.
I thought him so beautiful,
so slick.
So I did what he wanted,
changing my
face,
body,
and head.
Turned myself inside-out,
drinkin' the nights away,
my lips painted his favorite color, blood red.
I did everything he asked and more,
but one night
he said he'd found himself a different gal
and that I'd become a bore.
I watched his back recede
into the cold
night
air.
I grabbed a bottle of whiskey
and drank
to wasted affairs,
then I bought a bottle of wine
and drank 'til I didn't care.
I started
dancin' wild
in the street.
Didn't hear that automobile comin'
or saw its lights,
but my eyes did land on the moon in the sky
before hittin' the concrete.
Don't know why,
but my last recollection is mama in the kitchen frying fish,
fresh cod.
My name?
It was Bertha Todd.

1907 postmarked postcard view of a large crowd outside the Hotel LeGrand in Syracuse, Indiana. A band is seated on chairs atop a makeshift stand at the left. Both awnings on the corner have "H. & E. Sloan" printed on them. The one on the left advertises cigars, tobacco and ice cream. Above that awning is an ad for "Old Times" 5c cigars. The other awning advertises the LeGrand Hotel and Restaurant. The awning on the building next door has "P. Winsor" printed on it.

c1910 postcard view of the Bourbon Elevator & Milling Co. in Bourbon, Indiana. The 1910 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Bourbon identified this as the E. E. Delp Grain Co. and said the tall building was built in 1896 and was 77 feet tall. The map set shows this business on the northeast corner of the P. Ft. W. & C. (Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago) Railway where it crossed East Main Street. East Main Street was identified as Mill Street in the 1908 county atlas.¹ This street is known as Harris Street today.
Workers and possibly others were posing for the photographer. A horse-drawn wagon was present and two railroad boxcars were sitting on separate sidings. One boxcar belonged to the Illinois Central Railroad. This view was looking northeast from the south side of the tracks toward the crossing at Mill/Harris Street, shown at the left edge of this scene. This section of the railroad line was double-tracked, and a 1910 railway guide² listed nine daily trains traveling through Bourbon in each direction between Chicago and Pittsburgh. However, only one westbound train and two eastbound trains stopped in Bourbon each day.
John Inbody used his own photograph to produce this postcard in his Elkhart, Indiana, studio. He was probably the most consistent photographer in Indiana in terms of publishing high quality real photo postcards with interesting scenes. Unfortunately, he died at a relatively young age in 1915.

1912 postmarked postcard view of a crowded 4th of July celebration in downtown Huntington, Indiana. There is a young lady holding an American flag. She appears to be seated on a decorated wagon.
There are numerous automobiles and a carriage in the view and a hand water pump near the right edge of the postcard. Visible shop names include Bradley Bros. Drug Store, H. H. Arnold, Court House Cash Grocery and the Buick Garage. There are advertisements for La Preferencia and Anna Held cigars and Vinol.

1911 postmarked postcard view of East Main Street in Cloverdale, Indiana. Cloverdale initially had a West Main Street and an East Main Street. East Main Street became the Main Street that exists today. This view was looking north from near Logan Street with the M. E. Church steeple visible in the background. That church stood on the southwest corner at the Columbus Street intersection.
This early scene included only horse-drawn vehicles. The barber’s pole at the curb near the left edge of this scene advertised a barbershop in the building at the edge of the postcard. The GROCERY & RESTAURANT sign next door is the only other sign in this scene that can be read. These two wood frame buildings are gone, but the next four buildings (and possibly two more) still stand along the west side of Main Street today. That fourth building is the K. of P. (Knights of Pythias) Building.
