Ancillary postcards....
 

I have always enjoyed things surrounding our beloved cards. Whether it's the packaging they came in, ads for them....or postcards that have to do with the companies that distributed them. Would love to see some others if anyone has any? Here are a few I have added to my collection recently. regards

Well I just got through 'not winning' a Dietsche postcard like that one showing the store interior in color... did you just win it? Were you the whale??

Nice cards!!

I only "look" like a whale, but it was me.....I think my snipe was about maxed out at the winning number.

Just sold this one on eBay -

Leon, that Dietsche's postcard is sweet...never seen it before. How awesome would it be to walk into a shop like that preserved for 100+ years???

I agree, Dan. And the back says that the street car that Steve showed leaves every hour for tours from the shop!!

Here are some I have shown but some new members might not have seen....

Before today I didn't know that Dietsche had a shop...I figured it was just a publishing company and those Cubs/Tigers postcards were all distributed in drug stores.
