It's 110 years old, but the message is still clear: "May one give us peace in all our states. The other a piece for all our plates." Our National Birds. The American Eagle and the Thanksgiving Turkey. See the next photo for the sender side. This card went to Miss Alice Bosserman, Rawson, from "Dale," in Arlington.
