Thanksgiving Greetings from Columbia and Her Turkeys

Thanksgiving Greetings from Columbia and Her Turkeys
A Thanksgiving postcard that shows Columbia—"the personification of the United States"—patting a turkey on the head. It's addressed on the other side to Miss Anna Johnson, Rockaway, New Jersey, Easton Heights. and postmarked Middle Valley, N.J., Nov. 25, 1909.

Message: "I guess we can soon skate now if this weather lasts, and I hope it will. You must write and tell me about F., you know I want to hear about it. Laura."

For the sake of comparison, see Uncle Sam's Thanksgiving Greeting for another national personification on a holiday postcard.
