Greetings From Menasha Wisconsin


This is a popular postcard format that showcased many different views of the subject hometown.  These postcards became prolific in the 1930s, lasting into the 1950s.  Generally known as "large letter" postcards, they most often were printed on linen in quite colorful inks.   Black and white photo postcards were also common, especially in the "real photo" format, as is this card from the Morris W. Beck Company.   

How many of Menasha's "landmarks" can YOU name?
