Help regarding writing on a T206

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Leslie Westbrook</b><p>I got this card today, and I'm determined to figure out what the writing at least says, and hopefully what it means. However, I need help.<br /><br />I've included the original image of the back of the card as well as a photoshopped version. I did my best to bring out the writing.<br /><br />The card is T206 Leach, Pittsburgh, by the way.<br /><br />If anyone can offer any tips or clues here, I'd appreciate it. I've got an idea about some of the words, but I'll hold off on saying what they are so I don't lead anyone's thoughts.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://s194.photobucket.com/albums/z56/lesliewestbrook/th_leachwordsdark.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://s194.photobucket.com/albums/z56/lesliewestbrook/th_leach.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Somebody obviously used the card as scrap paper long, long ago. I don't think there's any need to place a call to the "History Detectives" on this one. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Leslie Westbrook</b><p>Here's what I came up with:<br /><br />Chas. Kelly<br />1615 S. 22nd <br />Philadelphia<br /><br />Not only that, but I also googled that address and I got:<br /><br /><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1615+S+22nd+St,+Philadelphia,+PA+19145,+USA&sa=X&oi=map&ct=title" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1615+S+22nd+St,+Philadelphia,+PA+19145,+USA&sa=X&oi=map&ct=title</a><br /><br />It's awesome that there's a street view. <br /><br />Thanks for the input.
