September 3rd 1907 VILAS
(was in Jersey Shore) postmark to Trout Run, PA. Receiving mark. Just down the creek a little ways. Likely delivered by the train. Most Vilas markings are proving to be from the rain line. Jersey Shore as a whole was known as a lot of smaller villages that eventually merged into one municipality. Vilas, cochern town, Bastress, etc..

Sept. 4 1929 Larus Bros Tobacco.

Here is my contribution for September 9th. It is from Readfield, Maine. The reason I have this cover is because it fits in with my paid markings.  |

I_L_S: In connection with that previously posted cover addressed to Josiah W. Leeds in Philadelphia (with a Richmond, VA) postmark, here's a write-up on the addressee -- and since it indicates his wife was from Richmond, VA, the connnection makes perfect sense: http://books.google.com/books?id=ht...lnut&f=false |
