| New Year's Greeting for 1910 |
I always felt a little bad for the old year character. He has to hit the road, unloved, and unceremoniously replaced by the new kid in town. (Very representative of our society, which doesn't always treat its seniors right!) In the card above, it looks like he is skedaddling for cover while being dive-bombed by the stork!
Here's another one (postmarked December 1909), with a clever modern-for-its-time streetcar theme. Baby New Year looks like he had a growth spurt on the ride in.
And here's one more, celebrating the arrival of 1909.
Why do I get the feeling that the cocksure tyke was flattened a few seconds after being handed the Big Blue Marble?
Anyway, here's hoping YOU have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
