I'm sure that there is a fascinating story behind the Mary Widow Green, but i couldn't find it online. This is a 1910ish postcard showing a little man on top of a ladder kissing a very tall lady in green under a Mexican sombrero. anybody know the story?

Just floating some ideas !!!
The stamp means something too. There was an entire language of stamp placement! And I wonder what J.J. C.M. means?
Ooh! That's a kiss!

fascinating info Celiene! i wondered about that oddly tilting stamp! i put the flag and liberty bell upside down these days to indicate a government in turmoil.
Jessie Geddes went to Liberty Union High School in 1903...

There is still a Geddes Music store in Brentwood (NorCal Brentwood, not SoCal!).
I'd contact the Geddes music store first. THere are others of this postcard on the bay. Carmichael made several funny romantic cards like this.
Or the CardCow has some, too. SHE has everything it seems!
thank you Celiene and valentino! i've never had a letter returned for that! i'd take it in and complain if i ever did!
