description on the back
I chose this postcard today because so many parts of the country, including Chicago, have been hit by snowstorms this past week.
This postcard has a "one cent" stamp box, indicating that it was probably originally printed before the postage increase of January 1952. Jacques French Restaurant issued many different postcards over the years, including a different snow scene with a "four cent" stamp box (the amount of postage required in the mid-1960s).

Hi postcardy. Just popped in from Karen's Postcards from the Dinner Table. What a GREAT post.
ReplyDeleteAs a cookbook collector I often come across postcards used as book markers. I am surely going to enjoy Smorgasbord Sunday.
Thanks for sharing...
I have a blog link in my list called restauranting through history, I do believe Jan has some really cool restaurant post cards on her blog you might like...
Hi! When I was a young girl, my Grandmother took me for luncheon at Jacques in Chicago!!! I still remember how grown up and elegant I felt. Thanks for the memory! Stay warm!!!
ReplyDeleteRestaurant post cards are always fun to find. Menus from restaurants are really rare and hard to find. Thanks for sharing. I not sure I have any restaurant post cards. Have a great day
