This postcard postmarked September 9, 1907, was sent from “F.P.R.” and E.W.R.” from Salisbury Mills, New York to Mrs. E.B. Elwell of Northport, Maine, and shows a group of cattle grazing on a farm in Salisbury Mills, New York.
The back reads “Thanks for your second invitation – you have had my letter by this time and know we cannot accept it. I can think of nothing which would give us more pleasure if we only could do so. With love to you and Burke from your friends Sept. 5 F.P.R. & E.W.R.”
Dairy farms like the one pictured here provided milk to companies such as the Beake’s Milk Company, which had a plant in Salisbury Mills and produced 1,260,510 gallons of milk in 1903 alone.
