With slight text alterations, this mini-sequence of images also reminds you of how smart you were to spay and neuter those strays in the backyard.

No additional captioning on the back. I guess they thought, understandably, that the image said it all. :)

I found this in Portland just a few days ago. (The two cities are about 68 miles apart.)

Imagine if you were carrying on like this with a loaf of bread and the spouse came home unexpectedly. And then you had to tell him that you'd joined the cult of the "HAPPY WONDER BAKERS!"

Yikes.

I guess these were around for quite awhile. But I'd never heard of them before stumbling on this flyer at a junk shop a few years ago.

Jo (aka Joseph Jacinto) Mora (1876-1947) was a prolific and fascinating figure. A simple search will reveal more of his work. I've copied this larger than its original size of 3 1/2" X 5 1/2" to show a bit more detail.

Several "linen" textured postcards that I grabbed recently from a store's dollar bin. I'm unsure of the actual year these were made. They could have been from the previous decade as well.

"Spanish Pool and Zinnia Gardens-- this garden is ablaze with color throughout the summer. Beautiful trees and flowers, wide walks and restful garden seats make this famous beauty spot a delight to visitors."

On the back, each card also reads: Published by "C.T. Art-Colortone Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.-- Wesley Andrews Co., Portland, Ore."

I enlarged the images a bit to show more detail.
