Tigers, "Dr. Ruth", and a Coaster!

We owe it all to Dr. Ruth. (an American sex therapist and author)

I love this very unique postcard!!!

It's from 'RUSS' Russ Berrie & Company, Inc. MCMLXXXIV (1984, I think!)

It is laminated on both sides, and the back has a sticker on it with the 'Send to:' where you put the address, and a place to put the stamp. Then on the bottom it reads: 'Peel off the label to use card as a coaster'

Maybe it's just me, but these tigers are too cute to put a drink on!

Exaggeration postcard with Alligator

All the way from Florida

The Alligator is a native of the Florida Everglades. For some time its skin has been fashionably used in the manufacture of bags, shoes, etc., and with this increasing use they had been hunted until they ere almost extinct. To remedy this situation and supply the demand, several thriving Alligator farms are now in operation, where the breeding and care of alligators is the main industry.

This great exaggeration postcard is postmarked in 1966 with 4 cent 'Lincoln' stamp
