Miss Lillian's Postcards - Vintage Tweets: Wauwatosa Wisconsin


Postcard 018

Sender: Unknown
Addressee: Miss Lillian Maguire,  c/o Luyties Homo. Phar., Co., St. Louis, Mo
Postmark: Milwaukee, WIS
Date: September 3, 1907
Image: Public Library, Wauwatosa, WIS
Message:
[blank]


The Public Library in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin in the early 1900s - today it is housed in a much larger, very modern facility.



Who sent Miss Lillian this postal with no message? And to her work address no less. Could be from a co-worker, perhaps a traveling salesman? Friend or acquaintance? Your guess is good as mine, unless we can match the handwriting to a postcard with the sender's signature. At least we know that Lillian still has her job!

    1. I agree, it is a gorgeous building! I love that style. It would have been grand to have taken a tour of the inside.
