Perfect Duluth Day

Postcard from Steinle Nursuries

This postcard offers a view of Steinle Nursuries on Miller Trunk Highway. Not much is known about the business or the location. The back of the postcard offers no details, other than that it was published by Duluth Photo Engraving Company and could be mailed domestically for a penny.

An internet search brings up one listing of Steinle Nurseries in the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s Report of Nursery and Orchard Inspection Work for 1921-22. A. W. Steinle is listed as the proprietor at the mailing address 1424 E. Superior St.

There is also this 1919 Duluth Evening Herald advertisement Steinle placed in the “Professional and Business Guide.”
