Very cool.... I love looking through old PC......
the best part of this card is you'd have an engineer in convulsions over the fact the mechanism isn't mechanically correct .......  |

Very nice postcard! And I enjoyed your links too. Looking up Elbert Hubbard I found this similar image in the March 1906 issue of The Philistine: A Periodical of Protest. I noticed that the postmark on your card is 1906 as well.   ps. I think the seated fellow is supposed to be Elbert Hubbard |

I noticed that the postmark on your card is 1906 as well. You are the recipient of the Month of may "Sherlock award" for outstanding detective work. Unfortunately engraved medallions are currently out of stock. I like the way Hubbard thought.... By 1914, Hubbard had become one of the most prolific and popular writers and lecturers in America. With war appearing imminent, he wrote in The Philistine, "Every writer, every orator – every reader and every listener – should think disarmament. Until disarmament comes we can never have a world of friends. The manufacture of deadly weapons by private corporations must cease…. Big business has been to blame in this thing … let it not escape this truth – that no longer shall individuals be allowed to thrive through supplying murder machines to the mob." The Philistine was issued until Hubbard's death in the sinking of the RMS Lusitania in 1915. |

In my humble opinion, as true today as it was 100 years ago. |

Agreed. Unfortunately dis- arming the world army's is not realistic especially with North Korea barking so much about starting a nuclear holo cost. I'm currently on my iPhone typing is hard
