Fresh Blackberries

This card is copyright 1910 by Edward H Mitchell, San Francisco.  It is a fine example of a large fruit advertising card.  The text at the top says: "A carload of blackberries from_____________"
The back of the card, unused, would be a great image for a do-it-yourself card, collaging or scrapbooking.

I'm Sending You a Lemon...

"I'm sending you a lemon from ____________"
Christine from the Daily Postcard inspired me to post a giant fruit card and I  found this large lemon postcard in my collection. She posted three giant veggie postcards yesterday.
This color card was printed in San Francisco in 1910.
