This Thanksgiving greeting card with an Art Deco-y design from the 1920s is also an advertisement for the Carry Ice Cream Company, which manufactured Carry's Frozen Pudding Ice Cream and other treats in Washington, D.C.

A Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is such a happy time. Guests arrive—the joyful greetings—jest and laughter—the Thanksgiving dinner. When all are lingering over the bountiful repast, surprise them with Carry's Frozen Pudding Ice Cream. It's so delicious and adds the delightful finishing touch every hostess desires.

Purest cream, nuts, fruits, and flavors are mingled to produce a characteristic Carry confection. Just the thing for luncheons, late suppers, and other social affairs. At all Carry dealers—or phone Lincoln 5900. Please place your orders early for prompt service.

"The White House, Washington. Thank you for writing to me. I am honored to be your 'First Cat.' Socks."

An oversized postcard postmarked Washington, D.C., Sept. 28, 1993.

When Bill Clinton served as the 42nd President of the United States (1993-2001), Hillary was the First Lady and Socks was the First Cat.

I wrote to Socks after he became First Cat, and he graciously acknowledged my letter by sending me this postcard. I guess we'll learn who will become the next First Pet on Election Day tomorrow.
