Wish you were here ! by Geraldine Aikman In 1953, at the cost of a two-cent stamp, a visitor named Phyllis mailed a picture postcard depicting her hotel, The Beachwood, in Old Orchard Beach, to the folks back home. “Hi everyone,” she wrote, in a fine script, “This is the hotel we’re staying at. We’re having a wonderful time. We went to Portland with some sailors last night.” Ever since the 1870s people have been sending 3.5”x5.5” mailing The study and collecting of postcards is called deltiology, cards without envelopes – postcards. Initially, they were govern- from the Greek deltos, meaning writing tablet or letter. ment-issued cards, with no pretty pictures, the address went on the front, with a limited area allowed for a short message on the back. The first American souvenir postcard, privately printed in color in 1873, provided room to write a brief missive on the picture side; the back was relegated to address-only. The cost of sending a postcard was six cents in 1863, but by 1883 it had dropped to four cents, due to a more efficient delivery system. The price was reduced to one cent in the early 1900s; it remained unchanged for several years before gradually creeping up. Today sending your friends a colorful souvenir postcard will set you back 35 cents. This 1905 color postcard of Hotel Thacher in Biddeford, covered in bunting for a Semi-Centennial, has designated the entire back ‘for address only.’ There is no room for a personal note. It wasn’t until 1907 that the Post Office finally changed the regulations to al- low printers to divide the back into separate areas for address and correspondence. The Thacher Hotel, built in 1846, was a three-story Greek Revival brick building that housed several businesses. A popular trend in the early 20th century was to have a pho- tograph of yourself made into postcards. According to Leanne Hayden, Collections Manager at Brick Store Museum in Kennebunk, this hand-colored postcard is of a florist shop greenhouse on Brown Street, Kennebunk. The couple on the right, posing among pink carnations, is Jack Elwell and Ida Downing Elwell. Apparently they are buried together in Evergreen Cemetery in Kennebunk. Perhaps they have pink carnations at their gravesite? The golden age of postcards was between 1907 and 1915, when Americans of all ages sent and collected postcards of every variety. Popular subjects included vacation spots, famous buildings, local scenes, cute animals and children, humor, fashion, patriotic and historical themes. This 1912 postcard depicts Post Office Square (now Dock Square), Kennebunkport, with early automobiles motoring alongside bug- gies. Today, the Bonsers’ Bazar building is occupied by Colonial Pharmacy. George Bonser & Son, “Dealers in Clothing, Gent’s Furnishing Goods,” also had a store at “No. 17 Main Street, Ma- sons’ Block, Kennebunk.” As a side business, they published color postcards of local scenes. George Bonser & Son printed this postcard of The King’s High- way, Kennebunk Beach. The green building with the tower, at left, is now the KBIA, at the junction of Sea Rd. and Beach Ave. Noah’s Ark and the Slide were popular at Old Orchard Beach's seaside amusement park in 1944. The boat-shaped ark located beside the pier was a kid-friendly funhouse that rocked. The Jack-and-Jill slide was scarier; two people would be hoisted in a bucket to the top of the 50-foot tower; they’d then whiz down a metal slide on a large mat. The Flying Yankee arrives at Old Orchard Beach on this linen postcard circa 1940.

Reclaim It! Brought to you by Old House Parts Antique architectural salvage is not only very attractive, exquisitely crafted, and a source for unlimited creativity, it also contains volumes of embodied energy: the total sum of energy consumed to produce a given product. And it’s FUN. Sometimes folks aren’t sure how to use it. Meet us here each issue for inspiration on how to use architectural salvage to add character and sustainability to your life. Get ready for the summer heat! Salvaged tubs make incredible outdoor “mini pools” for cooling off! Or enjoy an afternoon siesta with your favorite beverage. Fill up with a garden hose or go all the way, as many west coast resorts and homeowners do, and plumb it up! Drain when done. Repeat. (@ mckadenwhippets, @sunsetphoto, @ heatherkasprzak) We’ve seen it all so come in any time to discuss the possibilities that lie ahead for you and architectural salvage!

A quick search for strawberry desserts yields a plethora of delectable options, from cheesecakes to brownies (yes, brownies) to pies. After all, it’s the first fruit to ripen, and a welcome indication that summer has arrived. Its botanical name is Fragaria ananassa and, it turns out, it’s not a berry at all. It’s an aggregate accessory fruit, as the fleshy part that is eaten is actually the stem. With an average of 200 seeds on each strawberry, it is the only fruit to have seeds outside. As we face the first crop of ripe, local strawberries, you can revel in the knowl- edge that indulging in the fruit is actually good for you. Antioxidants Galore! Eat away as delicious strawberries have surprising health benefits. Food Republic says that, “Strawberries are believed to help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers. They are low in calories and high in vitamins C, B6, K, fiber, folic Robin Swennes' Strawberries acid, potassium and amino acids. . . . Research suggests that people who load up on strawberries before exercising have greater endurance and burn more calories.” Berry Interesting: A Rose by Any Other Name Stop and smell the . . . strawberries. Yes, indeed these luscious reds are members of the rose family. Take a sniff of a strawberry bush; they smell as good as they taste. Replacing a Bubble Bath? Did you know a prominent member of Napoleon’s court, Spanish-born Madame Theresa Tallien used to bathe with fresh strawberry juice once a year? One-time bath- ing took 22 pounds of strawberries. This sticky fact came from honestcooking.com Souper Strawberry Love In France, strawberries are considered to have aphrodisiac properties. As tradi- tion would have it, French newlywed couples are served a soup made of strawber- ries for their wedding breakfast. Love Everything Strawberry? Did you know that there is a museum completely dedicated to the strawberry? It’s called the Le Musee de la Fraise, located in Wepion, Belgium. Strawberry Festival.

According to honestcooking.com, in rural Bavaria, I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine farmers tie small baskets of wild strawberries to the horns of cattle as an offering A million tomorrows shall all pass away to wood elves (who are apparently passionate about the fruit). In return, the elves 'Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today will guarantee healthy calves and plenty of milk. I'll be a dandy, and I'll be a rover The Stats You'll know who I am by the songs that I sing According to the US Department of Agriculture, Americans eats an average of 3.4 I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover pounds of strawberries annually.
