Your eyes aren't deceiving you -- the trees in this card have been hand-tinted green. While the design is different, the publisher's credit is almost the same as the preceding card -- "ROBERTSON DRUG CO." The picture of the courthouse doesn't fill the card, but leaves a band of white space at the right, typical of the earlier undivided-back cards, to leave space for a message. The back of this card bears the same design as the Carnegie Library card: it's a divided back, but allots two-thirds of the space to the address. The card was sent on March 25, 1909 from Pekin, Indiana to Mrs. Emma Jenkins, 622 N. State Street, Tacoma, Washington. Mrs. Jenkins must have been hard to find, because the card was readdressed a couple of times. The message reads, "Well how are you? We are well. Pa has been on the jury at Salem for two or three days. The Borden people are well. Mother talked to Uncle Mike. We have a girl sewing for us this week. Mother & I are quilting. Edna."
