How to Trap a Husband for Leap Year

How to Catch Them - in 1908

Build a large Mouse Trap.  Disguise the front entrance as a palatial mansion:  take an empty flour sack, fill with rubbish and print a dollar sign on it.  Hang on for bait.  Scatter a few loose coins about the entrance for effect and await results.

This is postmarked in 1908 with a one cent stamp. It was sent to "Miss Alice" from Henry and the only thing he writes is: I hope you have good luck in the race. Best Wishes, Henry
