A weapon in the war between
butter & oleomargarine begun in the late 1800s.
Citing a Yale scientific
study, this 1918 card warns that a butter-free diet may lead to stunted growth,
infertility, blindness, even death. After a century we've come full circle with
butter back in style. (The French are just laughing.)
A "heart doctor." Maybe his patients ate too much butter?
Another take on matters of the heart. From Roy Lichtenstein's pcard collection perhaps?
Another beach scene: fowl in a foul
mood. For my roosters & hens collection.
Another sea-related card. Seems to be
a combo of real algae + a color transfer made from algae. Very unusual. (Pressed dried flower cards are more common.)
Back
to the City by ferry. Early use of term "sky-line."
This was a generic
NYC card used to advertise a clothing store sometime after 1906.
