I began collecting postcards in mid-August of 2013, after looking through my aunt's collection and thinking it seemed like a fun hobby. Along the way, something obviously went very wrong.

Species: Cow - Jersey

Card Text Front: Elsie and Elmer, Beauregard too - Elsie, Elmer and Beauregard and Traveling Representatives at Borden's Family of Fine Foods.

Card Text Back: Elsie and Family in person - Elmer is at the left, Elsie at the right and young Beauregard in his playpen. Elsie's dressing table, made of barrles, has milk bottle lamps and her toiletries include Tail Wave Set, Henna Fur Glaze and Meadow Mud Pack. Elmer's chair is made of actual wheels with barrel staves for rockers. The sampler over the mantel, Elsie did when she was just a heifer. The candle sticks are half ears of corn and the bed ladders have scythe-handles for supports. Books in the breakfront include The Farmer With Cold Hands, Animal Husbandry and Wifery, and Bulliver's Travels. Elsie's dressing table mirror is a large frying pan and the floor lamp is an old churn.
