| A POEM FOR LUCY |
||
|
Around my ivied porch shall spring each fragrant flower that drinks the dew And Lucy at her wheel shall sing In russet gown and apron blue. I found this poem inscribed on the back of the very old hand-painted tile shown above. It was signed with the initials 'EGL", or possibly ESL or CGL; the age makes it difficult to decipher. The poem is dated 1879. |

| DYEING SAVES BUYING |
||
| This
is an antique fan, made of cardboard and wood, marked "Compliments of Nichols &
Herejk, Leading Druggists and Stationers, Belle Plaine, Iowa". It was a promotional
item of Putnam Fadeless Dyes & Tints, which were manufactured by the Monroe Chemical
Company of Quincy, Illinois. |

| THANKSGIVING GREETINGS |
||
| This
antique postcard was sent from Loup City, Nebraska, on November 25, 1906. The message and
the address have faded so much over time that they are illegible. Too bad, usually the
messages on antique postcards are more interesting than the illustrations. |
