Card from the Royal Gorge in Colorado

2011-11-13T22:33:00.001-06:00

Moonlight in the Royal Gorge. The eight-mile journey through the Royal Gorge is probably the acme of solemnity in the world trip. Especially is this fact impressed upon the traveler who is fortunate enough to pass through the Gorge on a bright moonlight night. The Gorge is the most remarkable chasm through which a train passes, the granite walls rising in some places to a height of more than half a mile.

Since this card is from Colorado, I expect that Annie got it from her Brother John who worked there.

Advertising Card from Eibert Coffee to Frances

An advertising card from Eibert Coffee from 1930. In searching them, I found reference to Tonka Eibert Vans but not the company itself. There is a reference to Sysco Foods so perhaps they were bought up by Sysco.
