This and the next post features envelopes from the 1920s and 1930s, usually addressed to C.M. Austin, my grandfather, Charles Mortimer (Mort) Austin.
I am the keeper of most of my mom’s massive amount of photos and other information from her side of the family and dad’s. I was looking at the envelopes (yes, an amazing amount of old envelopes) and I recognized a few names and thought my Halfway Brook readers might enjoy seeing these old envelopes and how much more postage is today.
I notice that the return address of the letter from the Washington Beach Hotel notes the telephone #: 4-F 310. I wonder how calls were placed in the 1930’s.
