Photo Number 1036

This is a postcard about a play that took place in the early 1900’s.  This must have been part of the advertising.

The Penalty of Pride and the cast of characters.  Presented by The Seniors of People Academy, staged by Miss Lillian Fisk.

Photo Number 456

This is another tintype that was found in the Nettie Parks Album.

A man in a straw hat with a baby.  This is a very dark tintype, sometimes a very dark chocolate colored varnish was used to preserve the tintype. The entire card is 2 3/4 by 3 1/2 inches.  The tintype measures 1 1/2 by 2 1/4 inch.

I also have two odd things to show you today.

 

A postcard

Don’t know where this was taken but it was close by.

This I was an interesting coupon that someone thought was worth saving.

Tomorrow we will have the last photo from the Nettie Parks Album.

Photo Number 431

In between pages 28 and 29 there were a few odd photographs, A High School Graduation Program, a invitation and even a fancy advertisement.

Lets look at this photo first

This is one of those square cards where the photo was put on the diagonal. It is weird.  She is lovely..young I think and the front of her dress is very different.  She is Mama’s Cousin.

Then we can revisit Elton L. Taylor and his High School Graduation  May 14 of 1924.

There were only thirteen in this class. Their class motto was “Impossible is un-American”

Now for that fancy ad.

This ad is on thinner paper..but it is meant to look like a Cabinet Card, and perhaps something that people would hang onto..and apparently they did.  He sold scales to farmers.
