Perfect Duluth Day

Undesirable customers in Duluth

This postcard hit the mail 110 years ago today, sent by Hazel Britts to Capt. Luther Haleto of Provincetown, Cape Cod, Mass. The card is hand-dated June 27 and postmarked June 28, 1907. The illustration shows a banker closing his doors to “undesirable customers,” two black bear.

“Dear Capt. Hatch,” Bretts wrote. “Wow, what do you think of the wild and wooly west?”
