Description

Northfield Postcard with a can of evaporated milk on the front. Includes an image of a cow on a farm with the words “Vitamin D Increased Evaporated” and “MILK” in large font. On the back, text reads “Northfield was long regarded as the ‘Holstein Capital of America,’ with a high concentration of purebred herds. Northfield’s slogan in those days was, ‘Cows, Colleges, and Contentment.’ For forty-four years (1918-1962), babies all over America drank formula from Northfield’s contented cows.

Written in cursive, “Linda and Jen—thanks again for the dinner and fire—Jim still yawning and feeling like jello—you ought to open a spa! It was great to see you both— I hope you’ll stop by when you’re in town. We saw Aurora Borealis on the way home that night—thanks for getting us out—Sandra and Miles.” Addressed to Linda Sennholz—Jan 5. Never mailed.
