Happy Mother's Day [1920s]

For all Mothers ... A postcard just for you ...

About 95 years later, the words are still true.

We're estimating this unused card to be from the early 1920s.


Thank you for stopping by John's Island.

    Nice card. I thought the same thing as jabbott - pity it was never used.

    Lovely card. The mother pictured looks like a kindly woman, even though she is not smiling. Interesting how back in the day, people did not smile for portraits--some of my relatives look pretty stern!
