I was thumbing through my postcard album today and started to notice a pattern. I don't know whether I just unconsciously picked these up over time, but there was definitely an ongoing theme in early cards showing prosperity and plenty. This was found most often in Western postcards featuring ranching and agriculture. I give you... Many cows  Many flour bags  Many salmon  Many grapes  Many logs in a river  Many logs in a pile  Many ostriches  Many pigeons  Many sheep

Now if you would just have "many money" you'd be all set! Nice collection though,

Too many prunes can lead to the hops, I hear. I found one more: Many cowboys riding horses!  |

I dont know if this counts, but there surely is plenty of laundry in this postcard.  |

Yes, I know -- especially the sturgeon. Fish that big are now illegal to catch; the maximum size is now 54". And all those icebergs are most certainly melted, along with much of Muir Glacier. |
