Mike Watson: One scene fits all places - way to hawk postcards

Mike Watson writes:
Doug is exactly right about the scene. I have a collection of Adair County post cards, including several "Greetings from..." that includes this one. I have six of this particular scene, one with Columbia, two from Tenessee, two from Missouri, and one from Virginia. It was an easy way to hawk cheap postcards, which usually sold at the turn of the last century for one cent each...and cost one cent to mail.
