A.C. Bayer’s Oat Field, Lavina, Mont.

This RPPC was mailed to:
Mr. George W. Powell R.F.D. Genoa Wis
There are two postmarks - and neither has a legible date. One looks like Helena, Mont. The other is Wis. The scan isn’t crooked - the image on the card is.

The back reads:
Helena Mont., May 21
I left Waldheim the second day after you left and came to Helena and went right to work. There is plenty of work here. How is every thing back there?

Lone Star and Lady Star

An unused post card - made by Cardy-Lundmark Co., Chicago, U.S.A.

LONE STAR AND LADY STAR

LONE STAR is the largest milk cow in the world. Raised on the J-J Ranch of South Texas, her mother was a little Jersey weighing 530 pounds and her father of the Sacred Brahma breed of India ( a medium weight cattle). She is 11 years old, weighs approximately 3005 pounds, and stands 6 ft. 2 in. tall, abnormal in size, but normal in every other way. Standing alongside is LADY STAR, no relation, but a constant and adoring companion of LONE STAR. Believed to be the smallest perfectly formed cow in the world, she weighs but 206 pounds, stands 36 inches in height, and is 3 years old.

$500.00 reward is offered for proof of a living cow as large in every way as LONE STAR.

Continuing the Flag Post Card Theme.


An unused Chicago Daily News War Postal Card.

I hope that everyone enjoys their Fourth of July Weekend.
We’ll probably not have a break.


Well, some of us might.

I’ll try to get some photos of what we’re up to in the fields.

I haven’t posted a post card since Flag Day - so I thought that I’d stay with the theme.
