Illinois - Postal Card / Reply Card / Postal History postcard
Mailed 1900 from Decatur
Back: Book numbered J398-Mag taken on your card, is out over time. Fine of 3 cents a day, including Sundays, is charged for each day of retention until the book is returned. Will you please give the matter your attention and greatly oblige. Alice G Evans, Librarian
Side note - when I checked the value of 3 cents in today's money - it was about $1.05 a day!! Seems like they meant business with items that were over due.
Card was mailed to Clifford Gandy of Decatur
Please note that the majority of the cards are over 50 years old and as such, are sold AS IS. Tears will be noted but it would be too timely to note each fault on every card. If condition is important to you - contact us with our number in the title & what it is that you would like to know or what it is that you would like pictured more closely.
· Again, because of the age of the cards - they are noted as being USED - no matter if they are written on or not.
