Los Gatos History: Century-Old New Year Greeting Postcard

This century-old historical postcard is addressed to a "Miss Blanchard," with a 236 Ashbury St., San Francisco, CA address.

In fancy cursive, it reads: "A Happy New Year to You. The Michelsons."

The postmark on the correspondence indicates it was sent Dec. 29, 1914 and processed by the United States Postal Service at 1:30 a.m.
