Publisher not identified (the word "Postcard" shown in 16 languages)
Postmarked March 17, 1909
Item/Collection Note: At first glance these companion cards appear to celebrate Father's Day and Mother's Day but they pre-date the establishment of those national holidays. Young Charlie Guthrie splurged and spent his money on each parent, a penny stamp on each card.
