Artifact of the Month

Postcards are usually a 4"x6" or a 5"x7" for sending a message by mail without an envelope, typically having a photograph or other illustration on one side. However, this artifact of the month is a panoramic photograph of Main St (north on the left; south on the right) and E Dewey Ave taken around 1911. These postcards (3 total) are 4"x27" (that's over 2 feet long!). All three postcards are of the same image. Two postcards are blank on the back. The third postcard has a long letter (from brother to his sister) written on the back of the postcard. The one without a letter on the back, you can clearly read it says "roll instead of folding for mail" as well as "published for Wilson 5 & 10c store".*

*Wilson's 5 & 10c store was located at 111 E Dewey. (see image below)
