Antique Postcard 1909 Ghost Town DPO Montborne WA Purple Flower Embossed Poem
Social History: The printed poem on the front reflects the "Postcard Craze" era's social pressure to correspond:
"I write today just this to say, I'm still looking for your letter; I hope it's not that you forgot - No, I trust I know you better."
Postal History: The card bears a rare Montborne, Washington circular date stamp from 1909. It was mailed to Mr. Perry Miller at a Rural Free Delivery (R.F.D.) address in Mt. Vernon, Washington.
Once a thriving mill town on the shores of Big Lake, Montborne's post office closed decades ago as the logging industry shifted, and it is now listed as a ghost town in many historical records.
