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
    Nellie Appleby

    Coming up B'ville Pike
    I do hope no accident will
    befall, such as a fellow laying in
    wait with ( -> a hose )
