      I collect postcards and this type of photo card was really popular. Sometimes issued in sets where the photo story progressed from beginning to conclusion--This could have been the last card to view in a set of 4--There is no indication on the back it was part of a series tho.
      Wonder what the attraction was in the"west part of town "of Walkerville??It may have been a regular haunt of Carl & Willis, good buddies in 1911.

      Thanks for the information.

      There is currently only one set of postcards I want to complete.
      It is this series, of which I have two so far:

      As for Walkerville, it currently has under 250 citizens. LOL.

      Not really a hot spot for tourists.
      Next time I go thru my cards I keep an eye open for your wants.

      I was just wondering if you've seen the card before/know where I could find more? e-Bay didn't turn them up. Nor did the place I purchased them.

      Does the card have a "series" number or name in small letters on the back?
    6. SpiritBear, 9 years ago
      No.

      Looks like this:

      My other version looks like this:

      That there are two different ones tells me it may be a series.
