AND WIELD AN AXE
Happy Thanksgiving! This vintage postcard, which features a very large axe, was mailed to Master John Miller of Delta, Pennsylvania, in November 1917.
The note on the back states:
"York, Pa.
Tues. Morning.
Hello John: I suppose you are having a great time this week, doing a little of everything.
Miss Thompson"
For some perspective, York and Delta are about 30 to 35 miles apart, depending on the route taken. It's a slower and curvy drive today and I'm guessing it was still a full day's trip in 1917.
