We’re finding the verse funny in this one…..

“If you are as glad to be remembered,

as I am to remember you,

We are both having a real good time.”

Here’s a spray of red poppies on a blue and white background with the above humorous verse. The poppy leaves look more rose-like than poppy-like, and it’s kind of different that the flowers are upside-down….The design of the background might remind you of water or the sky. This is in our Alice Ellison Collection, and the sender wrote:

“Dear Ma   I thought of you on your birthday but I was to busy moving to send you a card. How is Bessie. Our new add is 2610 Grant Ave. Write soon   Love from Dos.”

The card is addressed to:  “Mrs. J. M. Ellison, Sacramento, Calif, 1314 F st.”
