Arkansas postcard past

- By Ray Hanley

BENTONVILL­E, 1910 A man sent this card to Miss Mable Goodwin and, not knowing their story, one wonders what extra meaning the image might have. “Merely wanted to say that I have just finished a mighty fine supper — cooked rice, fried chicken with browned gravy, baked potato, red beans, sliced tomatoes, fresh strawberri­es de la cream and iced tea. Doesn’t that sound good? Don’t need the sleep but am going to retire early.” Arkansas Postcard Past, P.O. Box 2221, Little Rock, Ark. 72203.
