Vintage advertising postcard issued by the Empire Cream Separator Company, featuring a colorful portrait of a young woman in a bonnet on the front.
Printed advertising at the bottom reads:
EMPIRE CREAM SEPARATOR COMPANY
Bloomfield, N.J. – Chicago – Portland, Ore. – Toronto – Winnipeg
The reverse is particularly interesting, featuring an illustration of a woman operating an Empire cream separator along with promotional text. It identifies this as Card No. 2 in a series and asks recipients to report how many cows they keep, what cream separator they own, and how they handle their milk.
A wonderful piece of early 20th-century dairy farming and agricultural equipment advertising, with crossover appeal to collectors of farm machinery, dairy history, advertising postcards, and illustrated woman postcards.
Card was mailed and retains its period handwritten correspondence and postmark.
Used vintage condition with substantial age toning, corner and edge wear, surface marks and general handling wear. Writing and postal cancellation on reverse. The advertising artwork and text remain quite attractive and legible. Please review photos carefully for exact condition.
