Long before canned e-mail, or any e-mail, there was the Time Savers Easy Correspondence Card. It has the linen finish one often finds on older postcards. 1930s? 1940s? I like “I spend evenings but no money.” And I like roaming through an antiques mall and buying a single postcard. Big fun, cheap.
Unlike canned e-mail, this card of course is a joke on modern ideas about efficiency.
Yours sincerely.

ReplyDeleteSome racy language on that card!
What a helpful site. My card is blank on the back, so no extra clues.
ReplyDeleteThe Smithsonian has one too, but I liked this one better.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen this? A virtual postcard museum. Minus linen texture.

Thanks, Diane. I guess with phones we are all our own postcard publishers.
