Wish You Were Here, from R.F. Outcault
Another 1905 Ottmann postcard by R.F. Outcault, this one showing the disdain of the rustics for those newfangled auty-mobiles. Thanks Nellie Appleby for your long and convoluted message. We'll roll out the red carpet for ye.

I think it says something like:
( You'll have a warm reception ) Hope so, as we are
coming up Sunday Oct-28.06.
( Ready now we are coming -> ) ( ? ) a good day.
To old B'ville, keep
a sharp look out
for old ( -> automobile ) . But lay
down your fire arms
yours in haste

I do hope no accident will
befall, such as a fellow laying in
wait with ( -> a hose )
