masonictemplecolumbus

Masonic Temple, Columbus, Ohio.  13907.

No post mark.  No address.

Another of the unused post cards in the collection.  Based on the postage requirement (1 ¢) and the vintage of the automobile parked on the street, this card dates from the early 1920s.

City Water Works, Ligonier, Ind. – 1918

Posted on October 22, 2016 by Pat Shaul

waterworksligonier

City Water Works, Ligonier, Ind.   33203-R

Post marked Ligonier, Ind.  Aug. 26, 1918.  Addressed to Mrs. Lee [Florence Koontz] Weaver, 92 Tireman Ave., Detroit, Mich.

“Can’t you drive down next Sunday?  Russel is coming there Sunday.  asw Henry [Allen Koontz, Forence’s brother]”

Ligonier, Indiana, is where the Koontz family had settled for a number of generations prior to Florence’s and Henry’s father remove to Ohio.  Much of the family, including their Grandfather, Ezra Peter Koontz, stayed in Indiana.  I have no idea who Russel was or why his presence would mean Grandma should drive to Indiana.

Powers Beach, Mullet Lake, Near Cheboygan, Mich.  120687.  Made by Curt Teich & Co., Inc., Chicago, U.S.A.

No post mark, no address.

Another of the unused cards in Grandpa Lee’s collection.   This one really looks like a view of Mullet Lake from Reg and Hazel Adams’ cottage — the long dock, the row boat, the birch trees.   It was a quiet peaceful time.

goodrichrubber

Goodrich Rubber Co. Buildings, Akron, Ohio.  A-17260

No post mark.  No address.

Grandpa Lee [Weaver] was working at the Goodrich Rubber Co., in Akron in 1913.   This would explain the post card of the company buildings and that he kept the card unused as part of his collection of post cards.

Ottawa Hotel, Cheboygan, Mich.

Posted on October 19, 2016 by Pat Shaul

ottowahotel

Ottawa Hotel, Cheboygan, Mich.  1A279.  Made by Curt Teich & Co., Inc., Chicago, U.S.A.

No post mark, no address.

Another in the unused post card collection from the 1919 – 1951 era.   The Ottawa has since been torn down.  We used to see this hotel every time we went to Cheboygan — it was on the main corner of the crossing of the two main streets.   My father would ALWAYS tell of the bar next to the Ottawa that his grandmother used to send him on a mission to fetch his grandfather.   The bar had that great Northern Michigan name of The Bucket of Blood.

No post mark, no address.

Another of Grandpa Lee’s unused post cards.  Again, from the 1919-1951 time frame due to the postage requirement of 1¢.  Grandpa Lee and Grandma Florence used to visit their friends’, Hazel and Reg Adams,  who had a cottage on Mullet Lake near Cheboygan.   Many times, the Adamses would loan out the cottage to the Weavers.   There was no running water — a pump out in the front yard and one at the kitchen sink.  The only requirement was the cottage be left as it was found — that meant the Out House was emptied.  Grandpa was in charge and never seemed to mind.  We always suspected this was his job as a boy.  We joined them at the cottage on a number of occasions.  Grandpa liked to go North near Labor Day to avoid the worst of Hay Fever in Detroit.    It is also of note that my father was born in Cheboygan.  It makes this a double interest post card.

View from the Twin Cuts, Roosevelt Highway, Near Wyalusing, PA..   Made in the U.S.A.  By E. C. Kropp Co., Milwaukee.  2772 N.

Another in the series of Grandpa’s collection of unused post cards (it appears we will begin a batch of them today).   Since the postage stamp instructions are to place a one cent stamp on the card, the card is from 1919 to 1951.  The rate went up to 2¢ on January 1, 1952.
