In 1916, Thomas G. Moses wrote, “June 24th, Mama
and I left Chicago for the east on our summer vacation, stopping at Kingston,
Ont. And Montreal, then White Mountains and Kennebunkport, Me., Boston, New
York City and Trenton, quite a nice trip, all of which I have written in detail
elsewhere. With Stella and the three
girls we arrived home July 29th.
I was soon back in the harness at the studio.” I thought it would be fun to track down some
1916 postcards. Enjoy.
