Dated 1912, here’s a postcard sent to Anna Chodl in Chicago, sending “Christmas Greetings.” I wasn’t quite sure what the object on the front of the card was supposed to be. Is it a horse’s harness? A wreath hanger? Whatever it is was decked with holly and balsam.
Here’s another colorful card, this time signed by Velma. Little choir boys lift their voices, And all the world today rejoices, May your heart sign bright and clear With joy today, and all the year.
A second greeting sent to Anna Chodl, this time from 1913. The card is again written in another language. You can see on the back that a stamp was once on the card, but it’s likely a philatelist removed it at some point. Note that the greeting includes the address (?) 3145 Russell.
Velma sent this card, to someone. It reads Little choir boys lift their voices And all the world today rejoices May your heart sing bright and clear With joy today and all the year
