How We Pass the Time at Pittsburgh, Pa.

How We Pass the Time at Pittsburgh, Pa.
One in a series of amusing "How We Pass the Time" postcards published in the early twentieth century. This noon-time example is postmarked 1911, and it illustrates how "Pittsburgh" has been spelled with and without a final "h" at different times.

How We Pass the Time at Pittsburg
A stroll at noon, a quiet spoon,
The time it passes all too soon.
