Description

Photo postcard titled, "Independence, Cal." showing a dirt street scene and what appears to be the Norman Hotel to the right. Trees line the street. A building on the left has a sign that ends with "ea" or "er" [maybe the Old Corner Saloon?]. The building in the left foreground with the covered porch might be the Harris and Rhine General Merchandise store. This postcard was mailed, but the stamp has been lost. The cancellation stamp is from Independence, Cal. on May 25, 1909. It is addressed to Miss Maribel Piper of Los Angeles from Marie.
