A bit of comic relief. I have no idea how color is added to these old, photo-based postcards. The photographic elements can be clearly seen, but the added color doesn't seem to be in the right place. Perhaps some sort of offset printing process.
So, this card was mailed and there is a message written on the back. "Rec. your card. Glad to hear you are well. Take care of yourself. Love, Betty" It was mailed to "Mr. C. C. Barker, Box 80, Station 6, Toledo, Ohio." And the postmarks, one from the sending post office, and one from the receiving. "CORRY, PA 5 PM, MAY 6, 1924" "TOLEDO, OHIO STA. 6., 430 PM, MAY 17, 1924."
Corry is in Erie County, and not all that far from Toledo. I guess the mails were slower back then.
