I Think We Will Like Ardmore Too

Postmarked 12 February 1935
Ardmore, Oklahoma

Message:

2/10 / arrived yesterday after a very nice trip. Nicely located at Hotel Mulkey. Plan to be here about ten days or so. Enjoyed all of Tenn. Ark. and Dallas very much. I think we will like Ardmore too. Business seems to be much better everywhere we went - of course, Gov. spending $$$$ for the South. We are losing out in VT. Walter and I start our labors in the A.M. Love, Harry

Of course I love this postcard because it's a vintage view of my hometown, but I am fascinated by the message and its allusions to the Great Depression and the government's response. I wonder what Harry and Walter were doing in the South!

The same view today:

Another vintage postcard of main street is in an entry from October 1.
