One of the fun factors of postcard collecting is the surprises we have when something new comes along. What could more fun than receiving a card with a dog’s left paw print in the message space?
Enchanting! That was the word used by one observer as a parade of cars left New York City at 3 o’clock Friday afternoon, September 8, 1911, on the annual Glidden Tour. Millions watched as the cars passed through the eleven cities itinerary before their destination in Jacksonville on September 19. Postcards recorded almost every mile.
