"Of the 17,609 pieces of mail the Hindenburg was carrying that day, only 358 were salvaged. This is one of them. Although charred from the crash, it was written while airborne on the zeppelin by a man named Ernst, greeting his friend Hans in New York City and suggesting that he would write again on a future airship journey, not knowing of the historic disaster that was to unfold."

World War I British published, from Edith Cavell propaganda series, artist signed T. Corbella.

Edith Louisa Cavell (1865 – 1915) was a British nurse and humanitarian. She is celebrated for helping some 200 Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium during World War I, for which she was executed. This led to worldwide sympathetic press coverage of her.

The Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy railroad is my favorite railroad because their tracks passed a few blocks from where I grew up. I used to love watching and riding both the commuter and Zephyr trains.

Much of the history of the CB&Q railroad can be found on postcards.

The Brainerd Water Tower has been called "Paul Bunyan's Cup" or "Paul Bunyan's Flashlight." It was built from 1919 to 1922, and was the first all-concrete elevated tank used by a municipality in the United States. It was replaced in 1960 but is still standing.
--------------------
The Sulphur Springs Water Tower was built in 1927. It was operated as a private water company piping artesian well water to customers in the immediate vicinity until 1971 when the City of Tampa forced them to stop water piping operations. After operating as a drive-in theater, the tower was restored in 1989.

Though Arthur Thiele is mostly known for his fantasy cats, he did quite a few other animals as well. This fantasy monkey set is one of my favorites. I love the monkeys all dressed up in their finery. I guess the two on the outsides are chimpanzees, so not technically monkeys.
