Love the old PC'S!

Hi, walksoftly...thanks for your love of the cards, and for your information on the status of those buildings. I am happy to share these items with you and the others.
I have many more items of this nature, and also photos, which I'll be posting periodically. These were all in a box of old paper that my friend had given me. The items were mostly from the 20s, and were owned by a soldier on a US Army fort in the Eastern Washington area during that time.
