Photo Number 1704

This is a snapshot from the antique shop in Park Rapids Minnesota.

Walking down the street PR Antiques

A lady in a hat walking down a sidewalk with a crack in it.  Did you ever hear that little sing song ditty “Step on a crack and break your Mother’s back?”  Not sure why we used to say that, I heard once it came from ancient times when you had to watch out for cracks and crevices on pathways.

I am finally done with the file of hat photos…thanks for sticking with me.  Tomorrow we will look at something else besides hats!

Thanks for stopping by.

W.M. Digerman ??  (Degerman) Did not have a turkey so this will have to do.  Send us a card in exchange.
This postcard would have been used from 1904 to 1918.
Thanks for stopping by.
Update from Sue:
There is a Ole William Degerman that resided and died in the Bemidji area. Is it possible that the W. M. was just one person's interpretation of how to write William? Ole William Degerman was born 1876 in Sweden and died 1956 in Beltrami county. 
This photo went Full Circle 134 on December 1 2015.
