Dear Mama:

I was going to tell you when was home but forgot it. You take enough of my money and get 50 yds of that 5-1/2 cent sheeting for home. You need it so you get it.

Often in the past when communication was limited between locations, or at best there was the telephone complete with operator and party line where anyone could listen in, the postcard was used to relay useful information...sometimes important, sometimes just general family things between brother, sister, mother, father, and other relatives.

Here is another RPPH (real picture postcard) by Scheuer, titled ALONE. Though I doubt that the cow in the water was staged, the title of the photograph gives the implication that it was.

Seen in the background are 3+ buildings laid out so that it appears to be a neighborhood rather than a farm. Since I don't have any information about Scheuer, I have no way of telling whether there is a possibility that the bridge in the background of this photo is the same bridge as the one in the previous post.

RPPC Scenery WHO Was Scheuer? by Mary Katherine May

There are a few scenic photographic image postcards available on the internet for purchased created by a person named SCHEUER. Just this weekend, I picked up two real picture postcards (RPPH) in a quaint town near Rochester, Minnesota where the Mayo Clinic is located, by the name of Mantorville. Should you be in the Rochester area, I suggest visiting Mantorville. There is some historic interest, a few shops, a lunch spot with fabulous sandwiches, and the famed Hubble House.

Then, if you still have a few moments to spare, continue south about three miles into Kasson, MN, where there is a fabulous, old-fashioned five-and-dime on Main Street that is called, simply... Variety Store, that is a fun browse. While there, you just may be able to buy a few inexpensive raffle tickets and have a chance to win a locally made quilt, for which the winning name will be drawn during the Dodge County Fair.
