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, HarryOf 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:

WOW the then and now pics are almost the same. Love the messages on these old postcards. TFS
Happy PFF!
Nothing's changed but the automobiles! And I'll bet that they weren't carpetbaggers. ;o)
It's so rare to have U.S. views like this that haven't changed dramatically. Wonderful!
