<br />
These two postcards show the Leon Gillis family with their "Last Wagon West," a homemade 20-by-8-foot covered wagon, with rubber wheels that.they used to travel from Virginia to California in 1961-1962. The eight-member family included six children aged 6 to 18. The entire family slept in the wagon or alongside in their sleeping bags every night. <a href="https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/47098741/" target="_blank">The Yuma Daily Sun on June 11, 1962 </a>reported that the dog that started on the trip and made it 3,200 miles had recently been crushed by the wagon and was not expected to survive. Another dog that had been found abandoned in the desert had also been injured a few days earlier when hit by a car not far from Yuma.<br />
<br />
The Gillis family trip west apparently was both the first and last coast-to-coast wagon trip. It began in Providence Forge, Va., on September 26, 1961 and ended at Santa Monica, California 11 months later. The family sold postcards along the way to help with expenses. The above postcard shows the Gilllis Family stopping along the highway to talk and visit with their fans and well wishers. The postcard below shows the wagon in Virginia along U.S. Highway 11 near Cedarville. Road signs show State Route 80 leading to Meadowview and U.S. Highway 11 pointing the way to Roanoke and Chilhowie.<br />

Leon Gillis reportedly said that he wanted his children to have a broad education beyond the formal education they got in school and to see the world. After reaching the west coast, the family stayed in California for a year. Their wagon was trucked back east and later sent on a freighter to Europe. In Europe, the family traveled through Holland, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Russia.<br />
<br />
More wagon trips followed with various family members. <a href="https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/134803599/" target="_blank">The Palm Beach (Florida) Post, published ann article February 10, 1969</a> when the wagon was in Florida with a Gillis niece.<br />

A famous <i><b>Trees</b></i> poem , which has been widely reproduced, is printed on this wooden postcard:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I think that I shall never see <br />
A Poem lovely as a tree. <br />
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest <br />
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; <br />
A tree that looks at God all day, <br />
And lifts her leafy arms to pray; <br />
A Tree that may in summer wear <br />
A nest of robins in her hair; <br />
Upon whose bosom snow has lain; <br />
Who intimately lives with rain. <br />
Poems are made by fools like me, <br />
But only God can make a tree.
<br />
<br /></blockquote>
The <i><b>Trees</b></i> poem was written by Joyce Kilmer in 1913. Joyce is usually a woman's name, and I pictured Joyce Kilmer as a middle-aged woman. However, Joyce Kilmer was actually a young man, who died a few years later during World War I.<br />
<br />
The poem was later set to music and has been recorded by a number of artists, including the Platters.who recorded it in 1961.<br />

This postcard was mailed from Tennessee in September, 1942 with the following message on the back:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
How does it feel to be back on the job again?<br />
Happy that Minn won again. Hope they beat Bierman's Cadets.<br />
We spent all day hiking in the Smokies — very beautiful.</blockquote>

<br />
"Minn" refers to the University of Minnesota and "the
Smokies" refers to The Great Smoky Mountains, a mountain range along the
Tennessee-North Carolina border in the southeastern United States.<br />
<br />
I was really puzzled by the reference to "Bierman's Cadets." Bernie Bierman was a famous University of Minnesota Gophers football coach, so I didn't understand how Minnesota could beat his "Cadets." I discovered that Bierman was the University of Minnesota football coach from 1932 to 1941 and from 1945 to 1950, but during World War II he served in the Armed Forces. In 1942, he was the coach of the Iowa Pre-Flight Cadets..The Iowa Pre-Flight Seahawks represented the U.S. Navy pre-flight school at the University of Iowa in the college football seasons of 1942, 1943, and 1944.<br />
<br />
I found a reference to the Minn vs. Iowa Cadets game in a Tulane University football program: "Picking anyone over the Gophers seems odd. It's a case of the teacher outsmarting the student. A shaky vote for Bernie Bierman's Cadets over his former team." The game was played on October 3 , and the Iowa Cadets beat the Minnesota Gophers 7-6.<br />

This postcard illustrates the baseball term <i><b>Sacrifice Hit </b></i>in an alternative and humorous way. It was mailed from Minneapolis, Minnesota on June 5, 1911 with a message that began as follows: "Say is that what you were doing yesterday so you could not come. I had chicken and pie and cake and a dandy dinner."<br />
<br />
The glossary at <a href="http://m.mlb.com/glossary" target="_blank">mlb.com</a> defines two types of Sacrifice Hits, Sacrifice Flies and Sacrifice Bunts:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Sacrifice Fly (SF)</b><br />
<br />
A sacrifice fly occurs when a batter hits a fly-ball out to the outfield or foul territory that allows a runner to score. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br />
<b>Sacrifice Bunt (SH)</b><br />
<br />
A sacrifice bunt occurs when a player is successful in his attempt to advance a runner (or multiple runners) at least one base with a bunt. In this vein, the batter is sacrificing himself (giving up an out) in order to move another runner closer to scoring. </blockquote>
In a <i><b>bunt </b></i>play, the batter loosely holds the bat in front of the plate and intentionally taps the ball into play. The video below illustrates the use of the Sacrifice Bunt strategy.<br />

This is a real photo postcard of <i>arte popular</i> (folk art) for sale in Cuernavaca, Mexico. The title <b><i>Loza de Cuernavaca</i></b> translates as "earthenware Cuernavaca." The name of the photo studio, Yañez Fotografica, appears in the upper left hand corner. The only information that I could find about this studio was in a listing of some postcards that stated "these wonderful old photo postcards are of Cuernavaca by the famous Yanez Fotografica studio, which photographed Mexico from around 1900 until circa 1930." <br />

The photo is printed on Agfa postcard photo paper. This back is different from the Agfa backs generally used in the United States. I only was able to find a couple of used/dated postcards with this style of back, 1930 and WWII era.<br />

Here are three postcards from a monthly advertising series used by laundries and cleaners in 1913. The fronts of the postcards show a variety of laundry methods in foreign countries, while the backs have descriptions of the more modern processes and methods used in American commercial laundries of the era.<br />
<br />
The first postcard shows a hand laundry in Panama. This postcard was sent in December, and the message on the back indicates that it was the last card in the "series of hand-colored photographs of laundry scenes in all lands."<br />

<br />
Here are some postcards advertising kitchen ranges from early- to mid-twentieth century. The card above advertising the Quick Meal Range is circa 1909-10. This range was apparently made of iron with ornate embellishments.That looks like a coal bucket next to it. Both wood and coal were used for cooking at that time.<br />
<br />
The next two postcards advertising "modern" Monarch ranges are probably from the early 1930s. No mention is made of the type of fuel used by these stoves. The first model looks like a modernized version of an old wood or coal burning stove. It was a "balanced design" incorporating "adequate equipment for heating and cooking." and was available in either Ivory-Tan or Nile-Green porcelain enamel finish. The second model looks closer to the more modern ranges of the last 75 years. It had a practical "4-in-line" top, a large bake oven, a warming compartment, a light, and a timer clock. It was available in Ivory-Tan, Nile-Green, or White.<br />

There were big changes in cooking stoves in the thirty years between 1910 and 1940, but not many obvious changes from 1940 until now.<br />
<br />
Early electric stoves were unsatisfactory for several reasons. "By the 1930s, decreased cost of electric power and modernized styling of electric stoves had greatly increased their acceptance. Electric stoves and other household appliances were marketed by electrical utilities to build demand for electric power." (source: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_stove" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>)<br />
<br />
The 1940s Frigidaire models illustrated on the next two postcards don't look very different from today's stoves. The 1940 Frigidaire Special Model B-15 on the first Frigidaire card has features comparable to more expensive models — 5-Speed Surface Cooking, Twin Unit Oven, Thermizer well cooker, High-Speed Broiler, and Cooking Top Lamp.<br />

The 1953 Crosley electric range also still looks fairly modern. Crosley also manufactured automobiles, and the back panel reminds me of an auto dashboard. This range has two "Bake-Best" ovens, and "Automatic Mastermind," and Pushbutton controls for seven surface heat speeds.<br />

Appliance company ads seem to emphasize electric ranges and appliances. When a gas range is shown, the ad is often promoting the use of gas rather than a specific brand of appliance. The ad below promoting modern gas ranges is from the December 1939 issue of <b><i>The American Home</i></b> magazine.(<i>This image can be enlarge to an easy reading size</i>)<br />

<br />
There is nothing written on the back of this postcard photo to identify the people or the location. The group of people seems to represent two families, possibly related.<br />
<br />
The three boys seem too close in age to all be brothers. My guess is that the one in the center is part of a different family than the other two. He is intermediate in size and is wearing a different type of shirt. The other two boys have fancier shirts with big round Peter Pan collars, and I think they probably belong to the more formally dressed adults who are wearing white shirts.<br />
<br />
The people appear to be dressed in their Sunday best. I imagine that this somewhat rundown house is in a rural area, and that the family has gotten together for Sunday dinner. I can see a table with a checked covering through the window on the left. A white cloth and a chair are visible through the window on the right.<br />

This real photo postcard of a happy little boy was mailed in 1910. I like the image, but I don't know who he is or were he lived. Possibly he is from Rowan, Iowa and is a relative of the addressee, Mrs. M. W. Shaner of Laurens, Iowa. I couldn't find a 1910 census record for her, but there is a 1930 census record of a Mollie Shaner (born about 1870), spouse of M. W. Shaner.<br />

<br />
The back of the postcard has a message that is somewhat puzzling. The underlined word must be important, but I am not sure what it is. It looks like <u><b><i>cong</i></b></u> to me. Apparently the boy is Irish., There is a village named <i>Cong</i> in Ireland. The only other meaning I could think of is an abbreviation for <i>congressman</i>. However, I couldn't find anything to support that interpretation.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts about the underlined word?<br />
