Caption (vertically along the left-hand side): "Reider Family Picking Black-Berries, Lanc. Co."

A real photo postcard of Edward H. Reider (1875-1942) and his family. It's addressed on the other side to Mr. David Spangler, Lebanon, Leb. Co., Penn., Rout. 2, and postmarked in Elizabethtown, Pa., on September 10, 1913.

Message: "Elizabethtown, Pa., Sept. 1, 1913. Friend, We are all well as you see on the face of this card. Hoping youence [i.e., you-uns or youns] are all the same. Truly yours, E. H. Reider."

Caption: "Men's Bible Class of the Church of God, Elizabethtown, Pa."

This is a postcard addressed on the other side to "Mr. Alfred Hardeman, Town" and postmarked in Elizabethtown, Pa., on October 30 (the year is missing).

Handwritten message: "This is to write you to attend the Rally Day exercises which will be held by the Church of God Sunday School, Sunday, Nov. 2, 9:30 A.M."

Rally Day is a celebration held by some Protestant churches to promote family attendance at church services and encourage children's participation in Sunday school. The fifty-three members of the Men's Bible Class who posed for this postcard don't look like they'll accept just any old excuse if you're not there for Rally Day.

Another copy of this card that was offered for sale online had a 1922 postmark. Since November 2 -- the date of the church's Rally Day -- fell on Sundays in 1919 and 1924, I'm guessing that the card dates to 1924.

A humorous "advance card" for the A. S. Kreider Shoe Manufacturing Company in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. Salesmen from the company sent postcards like this in advance of their trips to let store owners know when they planned to visit.

The salesman depicted here is wearing his motoring clothes—goggles, cap, and coat—as he steers his shoe-shaped automobile through the dusty streets. His "A. S. K. Shoe Co." case of sample shoes is safely stowed on the running board.

The Kreider Shoe Manufacturing Company is no longer in business. Its former factory buildings in Elizabethtown and Middletown, Pennsylvania, now contain apartments.

For other salesmen postcards, see my album of Advance Cards.
