Rosey's Auto Graveyard, Lincoln Highway, Vintage, Pennsylvania, 1919
"Rosey's Auto Graveyard on Lincoln Highway at Vintage, Pa. Between Philadelphia and Lancaster, Pa."
The Lancaster County Postcard Club's book, Lancaster County Postcards: Windows to Our Past (Stevens, Pa., 1998), p. 94, gives a date of 1919 for this postcard.
Printed on the other side of the postcard:
Rosey
Buying and selling running and not running automobiles. Paying highest cash prices. Dealer in all kinds of supplies.
On the Lincoln Highway. Vintage, Lanc. Co., Pa. Ind. Phone, Gap 420-G. Bell Phone, Gap 422.
Published by I. Steinfeldt, Lancaster, Pa. Made in U.S.A. C. T. American Art. A-80583.
Excerpts from a 1921 article about "Rosey" and "The Graveyard":
"Rosey," whose real name is Morris Roseman, is proprietor of "The Graveyard," a most interesting and profitable "outdoor showroom" for defunct automobiles and other motor vehicles.
Vintage is a small place twelve miles east of Lancaster, Pa., on the Lincoln Highway, which gives "The Graveyard" a strategical position: First, because of the tremendous motor vehicle traffic along the highway, and second, because Vintage is in Lancaster county, noted for its great number of automobile, truck, and farm tractor users and owners....
"Rosey" is a cheerful character, but while he is never tired of having colored post cards made of his famous "Graveyard," he does not consider his own portrait especially decorative and there aren't many pictures of him extant.
--from K. H. Lansing, "Being a 'Character' Has Money Value," American Garage and Auto Dealer, August 1921, pp. 13-14.
