This unique historical postcard from December 18, 1931, offers a fascinating glimpse into the agricultural commodities market of the era. Originating from Cleveland, Ohio, it features a detailed typed list of grain products and their prices, including various types of bran, middlings, yellow corn, white oats, red winter wheat, and Swedish type oats. This commercial communication was sent by The A. M. Tousley Co., with their contact information, including a phone number and location in the Leader Building, visible at the bottom.
The reverse side confirms its journey, bearing a clear Cleveland, Ohio postmark dated December 18, 1931, with an 8 PM timestamp. Addressed to A. F. Stutzman & Sons in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, this postcard served as a practical business document, reflecting the daily operations of a grain trading company during the early 20th century. A 1-cent George Washington stamp is affixed and postmarked, alongside a timely "MAIL EARLY FOR CHRISTMAS" message, adding a touch of period charm to this rare piece of ephemera.
