Me



Not me, me.  The circled me on the postcard, got me? 

Written on the back, "Hi Harriet, Just came down for weekend.  Had a nice time.  See you soon.  Aug  P.S. look at the other side."  Anyway, I guess "Miss Harriet Sietjer, 37-48th St., Weehawken,  N.J."  was used to less than scintillating communication with Aug, possibly short for August.  Postmarked, "WILDWOOD N.J. JUL 30 6 A.M. 1951." 

I don't think that guy is actually me,  no not me, but not the me that is Aug.

A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody



Old song, old postcard, and proof that a pretty girl can be used to sell anything.  In this case, Cypress Gardens and postcards.

The caption on the back, "Giant blue Hydrangeas with cover girl, Martha Gray, make this a lovely scene along one of the paths that wind through the tropical Cypress Gardens."  Helpful hint, never include cover girl in an internet search.  Unless, of course, you want to buy lots and lots of makeup.
