This is strictly personal.  34.  Copyright, 1905, Souvenir Post Card Co., N. Y. 

Post marked Aug 12, 1912.  Columbus, Ohio.  Addressed to Mr Lemuel Weaver, Tireman Ave. Cor. Scotten Ave.   Detroit, Mich.

Then the PERSONAL note is written across the front of the card:  “Christeen and Nettie just got home from visit to Uncle Lew.  They are all well.  You are about fair date.  It begins Sept 2 and lasts the usual number of days.  Come down if you can,  Be glad to see you  C. F. [Chirstiana Weaver Fisher, Lemuel’s sister].”

I am not sure who Nettie or Uncle Lew were.  But Aunt Teen tries to get Great Grandpa Weaver to come to the fair in Columbus pretty much every year.

Loving tablets are not necessary

lovingtablets

Loving tablets are not necessary in Detroit.  The girls don’t require any.

No post mark.  Addressed to Mr. Lee Weaver, 94 Tireman, Detroit, Mich.

“This is going some”

Someone wrote 2¢ where the stamp would go.  Maybe the post card itself was wishful thinking on Grandpa’s part?  Maybe intended to send to Grandma in Columbus to let her know she had better beware of potential ready competition?
