Most of my real photo postcards are being used elsewhere on this site but I still have a few odds and ends that are worthy of being shown. I am not sure but it's my guess the second card is supposed to be humorous, I never heard of a cow pulling a mail wagon, (unless of course it's a milk run!, sorry). The fourth card shows a playground in the Clifton area. The writers two children are the ones on top of the slide.
These flying over Cincinnati cards were taken in various studios around town.
I have some evidence that these cards may have been taken at Chester Park. When, and if, I can verify this I will move them to that section.

This card was sent from Cincinnati to a residence in Westwood. The A.O.S. could stand for the American Ontology Society, or the American Orchid Society, or (?). They were headed to Miami which is what Miamitown was called in 1905. Anybody have any Ideas?
The card reads, "No sense in me monkeying around Cincy anymore so I'll be home Saturday night. Dick
Someone went to all the trouble to cut up a postcard for use in making the third card then put Ohio on up-side down! (On purpose?) The cover was also produced for this convention.

KROGER GROCERY STORE
Not a postcard
The 1st image is a postcard showing Harry Ring and a Kroger meat cutter standing in front of a Kroger wagon being drawn by two mules. Behind the wagon is a Kroger Store and next door is either a branch, or a station, of the Cincinnati Public Library. I have not, yet, determined this location. Any help in this would be appreciated. One of the main competitors of Kroger was Peebles Grocery. The link below will take you to a page on this store. I have no postcards of the stores although you will see many cards with the Peebles sign on the pages showing Fountain and Government Squares. I happen to have collected quite a few images showing this business so I thought I may as well put them up for your perusal.

All I know about the first card is the kid is holding a Cincinnati Post newspaper. The 2nd card was taken by F. Bollinger, whose shop was at 23 W. Liberty St. It shows a group of youngsters wielding what looks like hockey sticks although a couple look more like something you would use for golf. Whatever sport they were preparing for it was being watched over by the Religious gentleman on the left.
The back of the first card states that one of the signs on the buildings says Avondale, I personally can not read them so I can not confirm it one way or the other. The next card shows what I believe is downtown Cincinnati with Christ Church seen in the distance, (4th street).
This card was made by the person who built this model of a passenger coach in1907.
This postcard was taken in 1920 on the 10th anniversary of the formation of this German-Hungarian organization for the support of the various trades in the Cincinnati area. The top five gentlemen were the original organizers. The men around the center circle show the President and various officers.
This card is stamped on the back L. J. Sick 1514 Race St. Cin., O. Telephone Canal 4347-R. A little research shows that a Helen Sick had a confectionary at this address and that L. J. Sick owned a business called The Liberty Art Co. next door at 1516 Race Street.
I have no information on Wills' Club or the White Horse Inn. (there was a White Horse Inn in Northern KY.) This Real Photo was taken By F. Boellinger 23 W Liberty St.
This interior shot of a unknown paint store was taken by Commercial Photographer W. H. Cubberly 1401 Vine St. The 2nd card above was also taken by W.H. Cubberly although his studio is now listed as 1332 Walnut Street. The image seems to show the interior of a butcher shop. The 1st card was dated 1908 and the 2nd card was mailed in 1913.
I was told that the calendar on the wall is a Cincinnati one. I can not verify this bakery was in Cincinnati.
This group of men were employees of the Schreiber Iron Works that was located at Ivanhoe & Montgomery Avenues in Norwood.
