The postmark is January 1909. (That's cool because my grandmother would just have turned 3 years old then!)
Here's J.L.'s note to her brother in Tacoma: (I'm assuming J.L. is female.)
I am in Eldred today. I am well.
Yeah, short and sweet! (What else do you really need?!)

I wonder when they started using zip codes... They just put the city and state.
Those are pretty cool to look at :)
wow... if you took that building on the left, multiplied it about 5 -6 - 7 times on each side of the street, you'd be in boonieville!
David, I actually remember (at least approximately) when zip codes started! It was sometime during the groovy 60's.
HotCup, yep, I get that!
I might have mentioned I grew up in a bit of a 'boonieville' myself (population 1500 when I was there).
Workin' on a groovy thing. Far out, thanks!
This is an exquisite postcard and I admire the way you've narrowed your collecting focus so early in the game - ahh, if I could have that discipline!
It so happens your postcard fits the theme for this month's issue of A FESTIVAL OF POSTCARDS - which is WHEELS.
If you'd like to participate in the Premiere Issue of this blog carnival just drop me a message here:

and I'll take care of your registration.
Happy postcarding,
Evelyn in Montreal
