Vintage Postcard - Humorous Greeting Card Keep Smiling & Polish Up Dark Side POSTED

This is a printed humorous greeting card featuring an inspirational, tongue-in-cheek message encouraging the recipient to 'Polish up the Dark Side' if they cannot find a bright side. During the early 20th century, cards featuring clever witticisms and humorous aphorisms were a highly popular form of social communication in Britain, often used to lighten the mood between correspondents.
